I have installed a Native database server. It can be connected at the client with the server name but not able to connect by server IP though the server can be ping by both IP and name. For access using server name, the connection will sometimes disconnect around 10-20 minutes. Server firewall has been disconnected. The power option has been put to never standby and screen saver is disabled for server. Host file has been updated to server and client but still same. Any other way to find out root cause and solution?

    Are you using TCP and NOT TCPS? The native client uses TCPS as default.

    This is starting to sound like a DNS/networking issue.

    Would be useful to state OS and NAV versions.

    Are the server and client in the same Windows Domain, same subnet?

    Try to run the NAV client directly on the server and connect with the TCP/IP address. If it doesn't work, try also 127.0.0.1.

    And see if you have problems here. If you don't, you probably have some network problems.

    And try connecting with 'localhost' (sans quotes) as the servername in the NAV Client on the server...

    It seems to be internal DCHP reservation issue. Thanks all for support.
