Hi. I'm using Conquest as a DICOM server and KPacs on the client side. It works great in local network, but trying to setup remote access for Dr's to view images. I installed Kpacs on remote client and established VPN. I'm able to queary the Conquest db and select patients. However, when I try to view the images, its a solid black screen. Any ideas on how to view the images locally?
Thanks in advance for your help.

To display it needs a reverse connection from conquest to kpacs which the vpn may not allow. To set it up and test it you can try to push images from the conquest query/move page to the kpacs server on the doctors desk. Once that works, you should be OK.

Ok, I verified that I get the error trying to push an image from Conquest out to Kpacs client. I was able to push an image from conquest to Kpacs by adding a connection to Conquest under "known dicom providers" for the VPN address. But I still have the same problem on the kpacs side trying to view the images. Can I force kpacs to use a specific path?
Or is there a specific VPN application I can use to easily solve this issue? I'm using Microsoft VPN that comes with Windows 2000 Server currently. I downloaded Himachi and I'm trying it out, but not having any luck so far. Anything else I can try to get this working?
Thanks again.

Hi,
make sure that the exact AE title of KPACS is in "known dicom providers". It uses that to lookup the reverse connection, which is exactly the same as the push you got working.
Marcel
I verified AET is exactly the same in Conquest as in Kpacs. Still having same issue. Can push an image, but can't retrieve one.
AET on KPACS is Rick. Here is the detailed log file of an unsuccessful attempt.

Hi,
Need to see the conquest log as well.

Hi,
if you push from conquest to KPacs, can you check that the line
(QualifyOn) (mapped) IP:10.0.1.7, PORT:104
Is the same?.
KPacs instructs to move the data to IP:10.0.1.7, PORT:104 which does not work. You said it does work when you do the same from the query/move page. Note that AE titles are case sensitive.
Marcel
Ok, finally got this working. I had to change the RAD Server in KPACS to the internal VPN network (10.0.xx). I originally had this setup on the internal NIC of the Conquest Server (192.xx network), which worked fine for queries after VPN was established. On the Conquest side, I had to remove duplicate Known Dicom Provider entries that had same AET, but pointing to different IP addresses (ie AET of Rick for 192.1. xxx IP and 10.xxx VPN addresss). It worked before when I was pushing images from Conquest because I could select the destination (and correct corresponding IP). But when I tried to pull the image using KPACS, it would use the first AET entry in the Conquest Known Providers List (which was internal 192.xx IP). Once I fixed the config and entries, it all started working correctly.
Thanks again for your help (and for making a really cool dicom server/client setup that is cost effective).
