How to connect NAV2009 Client to NAV2009 Server?

Jano

Hi guys,

I'm new to Dynamics NAV, my first time actually!
I made a windows Server and a Client. I connected the Client to the server and this works, because I can successfully ping to the Server. Now my problem is that everytime that I run MS Navision 2009 on the client it says it's not connected, and when I press 'No' I have to insert the server address.

When I insert "localhost:7046/DynamicsNAV" it says
'A server was not found at "net.[url=tcp://localhost:7046/DynamicsNAV/Service]tcp://localhost:7046/DynamicsNAV/Service[/url]". Either the URL is incorrect or the server is currently not available.'

Now what could cause this error and how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance!

1) You have posted into classic client forum, but you are talking about RoleTailored client. This means 3tier.
2) If you want to use RTC, you need to have MS SQL server with NAV DB, NAV Server and RTC (client). It means more than just "Server" and "Client".
3) I recommend to read some documentation first about how to config the RTC, NAV Server etc. it is not so simple...

You can check your connection at C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Dynamics NAV\60\Service\CustomSettings.config
Open file and check line:
<add key="DatabaseName" value="Your_database"></add>
