on premises data / Excel Power Bi publisher desktop connection
Hi jeff_eyebrowze,
The gateway communicates with Power.com with outbound (443) port by default. Please allow 443 in outbound roles. See: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/powerbi-gateway-onprem/#ports
Best Regards,

I tried a couple different things.
• Created rules in MS firewall enabling port 443, but TCP and UDP.
• Disabled all firewalls, comodo, as well as windows.
In any event, when trying to use power bi publisher in excel, I still get a “ request to web service failed “ error, along with this detail

I’m not really interested in on premises gateway working, but it’s critical that I can get the power bi publisher plugin in Excel to function so that I may start using the pinning functions.
I’m on the desperate side, so any further insight into this problem would be most appreciated. If I indeed cannot get this solved via this board, is there a professional that I can contact directly to help me solve ?
