navision server installatie

Adriaan2k

kan iemand mij bij het volgende helpen:
ik heb een netwerk van 2 XP Pro pc's (PC1 en PC2) zonder windowsserver of domeincontroller.
Configuratie:
1. op PC1 de Nav client en Nav server geïnstalleerd.
2. op PC2 de Nav client geïnstalleerd.

Hoe kan ik met de Nav client op PC2 connectie maken met de Nav server op PC1 ? Op PC1 heb ik in de Hosts en Services file 127.0.0.1 toegevoegd (zijnde lokaal) en op PC2 heb ik in de
Hosts en Services het vaste ip-adres van PC1 toegevoegd.
Dien ik op PC1 nog bijv. windows services te activeren om de Nav server service in het netwerk te publiceren ? Ik kan deze wel pingen maar niet via de client benaderen.

Bij voorbaat dank voor jullie zeer gewaardeerde hulp.

Hi Adriaan2k,
i doesn't speak dutch, so i ask u in english (or is german better ;-) )

When you open the NAV client on PC2 you can add the servername or serverip in the serverpath (File -> Database -> Open) :?:

Goodmorning Garak,

yes, i can put the servername or ip-adress followed with the port and
select the networktype. I can also ping the navisonserver by name. But the Navision client gives a time-out failure: TCP/IP error ETIMEDOUT.

I did everything according to the Installation and System guide.
But i am starting to wonder if it is possible to use a Nav server in a network without a Windows server platform (and/or Active Directory).

U really use TCP and not TCPS?
TCP/IP port 2407 is not blocked ?
U can use Windows XP as the operating system for the native Navision server. You doesn't need, for example, the Win2003 Server.
Stupid question, but often this is the problem. The services run? and the DB is not (properties of the file) read only?

Hi Garak,

I already found the solution and it is one of the issues you mention. The problem was solved after i opened port 2407 in the default Windows Firewall. Thanks for the support.

Hi Garak!

Lot of thanks to you . Its always you who is helping me out of my problems.

The solution was adding the port 2407 to the firewall exceptions in Controlpanel > Firewall. Now i can connect the Navision server through a client installation of Navision from my laptop .

Thank you and wish you happy new year!
