I am runnnig Navision Version US 3.7.A on a Windows 2000 SBS Server. After rebooting the server the Navision service starts normally without any errors, but it does not accept any client connections. From the client side it appears that the navision service is not running. After restarting the service on the server everything is working normally. Does anyone have any idea what may be causing this?
Did you find any errors in the event log? This would be a good place to start. You should also check which ports are open.
In case you (or others) don’t know how to check the ports here’s how: Use the following command in a dos-box: NETSTAT -a -b -v -n -o
Navision is using port 2407 as standard; this port is perhaps blocked by a firewall…?
