Adding a slave to jenkins

I am trying to add a slave in Jenkins. I followed the steps as in https://wiki.jenkins-ci.org/display/JENKINS/Step+by+step+guide+to+set+up+master+and+slave+machines .

I added a new node on the Master. But inorder to connect my slave machine, I am not able to find the added node on the slave.

Any ideas on what might be going wrong?

I checked and I do have connect permissions.

The easiest way to add a new Jenkins slave node is

  1. Adds a new node on master (you can do it on the Jenkins web UI)

  2. Once step 1 is done, it will show that the node is offline.

  3. Remote desktop to slave machine. Browse the URL that says the node is offline on slave. enter image description here

  4. Clicks Lunch on the page, wait until it shows a confirmation dialog to download/execute slave-agent.jnpl file.

  5. Wait until it shows this popup.

  6. Clicks File and selects Install as a Windows Service
