unable to find navision server for sql (urgent)

matthewtaing

Hi all,

I'm installing navision 4.0 SP1 for my client and found out that a few of the client computer could not access the server.

The details are :-

Server: Microsoft Navision 4.0 SP1 on windows server 2003 enterprise

Client: Microsoft Xp with Microsoft Navision installed with minimal option.

Authentication: Windows Login with active directory. All users are created and most of them are able to login from the client except a few of them

Description of error: I am able to lookup the list of servers but unable to connect to the database.
I.E i am able to see TEST server when lookup for server name but when i lookup on the database field at then it gives me an error "TEST server cannot be found"

Testing of network: i am able to ping from my client computer to the server.

Many Thanks

use the ip address instead. Also make sure on on advanced tab the net type is TCP/IP

Hi again,

I would like to know how to fix this problem permanently so that the user can lookup the server name instead of keying in the ip address.

Thanks

Probably something is not setup with DNS on those computers.
