I already have TeamCity server and one default agent on the server machine A. I am trying to install a remote build agent on another machine B . These are the steps I took:
1. In a browser in B, went to TeamCity UI (that is on A)
2. Clicked on "Install Build Agents" link
3. Went through all the steps of install.. for server url I gave http://teamcityservername and changed the port to unique number.
4. I see build agent folders created on machine B
But I dont see the remote agent I installed just now, in the "Agents" tab in the teamcity UI. I tried to add a new agent. Even this created a new folder in B for this new agent, but still no sight of the two new agents I added in UI. Is there anything I am missing?

Odds are that either the build agent process is failing to start, or the agent is unable to connect to the TC server for some reason.
