Connectivity requirements

IDEtalk is a networking plugin and has several network requirements. In most cases the plugin should work seamlessly, but if you have a firewall on your computer you may need to change its settings:

• Open UDP port - 2863
• Open TCP port - 2864+ (depends on number of simultaneously running IDEAs on your computer)
• Enabled IP multicasting - 239.203.13.64. You should be either in the same subnet as your colleagues, or IP multicast forwarding must be enabled on the router. Ask your sysadmin if unsure.

IDEtalk is bundled with this version of IntelliJ IDEA, there is no need to install plugin.
