  Then I stopped the service 'Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision Database Server NAVISION1' on the server.

  
  Don't you mean started?
  
  Did you change de hosts and services file on the server AND on the client pc?
  
  
  You can always try the following:
  
  Servertype: Navision Database Server
  Servername: ipadressofnavisionserver:portnumber
  Databasename:
  
  eg
  Servertype: Navision Database Server
  Servername: 10.1.6.7:2014
  Databasename:
  
  Regards,

  Now, let's see what we can see.
  ...
  Everybody on-line.
  ...
  Looking good!

  Hi!
  
  Yes, I meant started. I changed the HOST and SERVICES file on both the server and the client. Using the IP-address and port-number didn't help..

  Hi,
  
  please check at the "Open Database"-Dialog the "Advanced" tab. Have you set the "Net type" to "TCP".
  
  Often it is set to "TCPS" automatically by application.
  
  Maybe it helps.

  I'm in the same boat as you are.
  I'm getting the same results.
  I'm actually using also an XP-Pro Svc pack 2 notebook and trying to connect to it locally.
  Ping's great, But no response.
  If I can't get it to connect locally on the same machine, no way it will connect from a remote desktop to a server.
  
  Anyone have any more ideas to help us?
  
  P.S. On the Registry - I can't find the actual TCP or TCPS statement.
  
  Thanks.

  Take Care,

  Search in window registry (using regedit.exe) the path where you have installed Navision (something like this C:\Programmi\Microsoft Business Solutions-Navision\Database Server) in data. When you find it continue the search untill you find a key that contains TCPS (you will find it in 2 keys) and change it to TCP.

  The name of the registry key is NETTYPE, the type is REG_SZ and the data is TCPS (and will be TCP)

  I am experiencing a similar problem. I have created a Navision Database Server on my PC running XP and have set all of the Host and Services entries. I can connect to this database from our test server running Server 2000 but cannot connect from any other PC in the network, I keep getting the following message:-
  
  The TCP/IP connections 'host' is not answering (TCP/IP error ECONNREFUSED).
  
  I can ping the host name from all network PCs, but can only connect from the test server even though I have set all of the network PC's up the same as the server.
  
  I edited the Registry as recommended as my PC had the TCPS setting but this did not help, any ideas?

  Both the client en server need to use TCP.

  Create dynamic Excel or Word documents, ReportX

  You need to go in to properties and set the security rights correctly.
  Set the database as read/modify.
  Some servers give you issues if you don't set the perission correctly.
  Even if the user is not mapped directly, the system needs read/write permisson to access the database. IF you delete the database and copy/paste a new one. You will need to perform the same thing. You may need to give the permissions to the directory to where the database is stored.
  
  Good luck, this is what cured me.

  Thanks ajhvdb I set both PCs to use TCP in the registry.
  
  Thank-you too Geovanny, the security was also a problem, as soon as I changed the permission I realised I could open it as 'Client Only', but as a Database Server I still had the same message, BUT when I typed in the IP address instead of the host file entry it worked!!!
  
  So I can only guess it is a host file entry issue or the way I named the Database Server that I cannot resolve seeing as though the IP adress in the Server Name worked.
