title: protractor stand alone selenium fails: Error: Timed out waiting for the WebDriver server at
body: <p>I have installed protractor with the stand alone selenium server:</p>
  
  <pre><code>webdriver-manager update
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I run protractor with the stand alone server already running and the config pointed at that selenium instance it works fine.</p>
  
  <p>I want to have protractor start the server and then run the tests.
  By default protractor finds chrome driver and the selenium server jar so I am using a minimal config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>exports.config = {
      capabilities: {
          'browserName': 'chrome'
      },
      specs: ['test/e2e/*.js']
  };
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But when it launches it can't connect to the server.</p>
  
  <pre><code>Error: Timed out waiting for the WebDriver server at http://192.168.1.146:56159/
  wd/hub
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I have noticed that when starting seleniumn with webdriver-manager start that the server starts up on localhost.
  I can't seem to get protractor to do the same.</p>
  
  <p>My guess is that the firewall is preventing the connection.</p>
