Login error of Navision Database Server

bestianhow

Hi,
This is my 1st time use Navision Database Server. After i installed the Navision Database Server, i have encountered login problem.
The error message is

The network is not functioning correctly. A 'packet' has been corrupted (a checksum error).
This error indicates that the network is not completely reliable. Please note how often this type of error occurs in the network. Contact your system manager if you need assistance.

Thank you very much

I haven't seen that before but one common oversite when setting up the Navision Database Server is the nettype parameter. Make sure this matchs up with the nettype you select on the advanced tab of the login screen. (It should usually be TCP/IP).

Thanks mjrogers.
Actually i also cannot find the server name. I just type the server name manually.

Any step i have missed?

Thank you.

before u actually try to connect with your client to server try pinging your server from client computer. In Windows command line try :
ping <servername>
do u get any positive response ?

For installing 1 or more DB-servers, have a look at:

Thanks Kriki,
I have tried to follow exactly from url http://www.mibuso.com/howtoinfo.asp?FileID=10.
The previous error message is gone, but the system has show me another 2 new error messages:-

1. The following message came from the server.
2. The operating system cannot gain access to the file F:\4.01\test.fdb.
Please check that the file type and attributes are correct.

By the way, i have checked the files' attributes is fine.

Any other possibility?

Thank you.

Your service is installed with a standard Windows user for services. Does that Windows user has access to the disk, the subdir and the DB-file?
You can also start the DB-service from the DOS-prompt. This can be handy to check if something goes wrong. The Windows user that is used in this case is the current user.
To try this, take the batch-command to install the server but DON'T use the "installasserver" parameter.
e.g.:
server CACHE=10000, COMMITCACHE=YES, SERVERNAME=CRONUS370W1, NETTYPE=TCP,
DATABASE="C:\db\CRONUS\N370 W\DBServer370\N370 W.fdb"

Thanks Kriki,
I have checked the Test.fdb database's attributes, it is fine, but still cannot access the database. Finally i added the permission to Everyone for that test.fdb, then it is working fine.

Thank you very much

The funny thing is i'm already Domain Administrator, why i still need to add Everyone role in the fdb file ??

May be because the server is not running under your account? I do not know, which account you are using for the server...

Hi Kine,
I installed the Navision Database Server in Windows Server 2003. This server is the domain controller (with Active Directory environment). I use the Windows Administrator to login the server and also i navision 4.01 client at this server as well....
Administrator still dont have enough permission :-k :?: Maybe i miss some step previously.
Anyway, thank you very much to kine and all.....

kine

You need to differ 2 things:

1) Permissions of the user opening the Navision (connecting to the server process - as you wrote - Admin account)
2) Permissions of the server process (the process is accessing the file under account the server service is running - commonly system account)

Try to check this server account, open the services and look at the property of the service...

As far as I know, not even the (Domain) Adminstrators have access to all files ... but they can give themselves the access.

And this is much worse in Vista... :-)
