Post From: DTC Protocol Server Not Accepting Connections

Thank you for the firewall suggestion. I've verified Windows Firewall has ALLOW rules for sierrachart_64.exe, so I don't think that's the issue, but I could be missing something.

What I'm seeing:

Sierra Chart logs this success message:

DTC Protocol Server listening on port 11099. Address: 0.0.0.0
But when I check with netstat -ano | findstr :11099, there's no listening socket on that port. This happens with both the DTC Protocol Server (11099) and Historical Data Server (11098).

What is working:

Sierra Chart connecting as a DTC client to Teton works perfectly
My application can bind to port 11099 when Sierra Chart is closed
All other Sierra Chart features work normally
My System:

Windows 11 Pro
Sierra Chart 2800 64-bit
Service Package 12 (Integrated Advanced MBO)
Trying to connect via localhost (127.0.0.1)
My question:

Is there a setting I'm missing that prevents the DTC Protocol Server from actually binding to the port? Or is there a way to verify the server is truly running beyond the log message?

I'd really appreciate any guidance on what to check next. Thank you for your help.
