Gateway configured correctly but not reachable

 Hello everyone,

 

I'm installing an enterprise gateway (the latest version) on a VM in my company's domain. I'm now constantly getting this "Gateway service cannot access outside network" error everytime I register a new gateway / migrate an existing gateway / add a node to an existing cluster. It just won't finish the configuration. But if I close the configurator and open again, it goes to the post-setup page and says the gateway is configured correctly but not reachable. I can find this gateway on Power BI Service but it's always offline.

Detailed error trace:

 

 

 

 

Gateway service connectivity check failed. Common issues can be found at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=838272.
 
Below is the stack trace:

Gateway version: 3000.230.15

 

What I have tried:

Uninstall and reinstall - not working

Running the network ports test gave all-pass result. All the severs can be connected and all the ports are open. 

Turn on and off HTTPS mode - not working

Create inbound and outbound rule for all traffics to and from PBI gateway service. - not working

Firewall log shows the traffic hit the rule and the traffic is allowed.

 

 

Is there anything I can do to fix the problem or further identified the root cause? Thanks in advance for anyone's support.

 

 

Kind regards,

Van

Does your company network mandate the use of a proxy?
