Windows Firewall is blocking Space Manager connecting to the server

Hint Ref: 020706180002
Hint Date: 18/06/2007

Hint Details:

PROBLEM: A workstation on the local LAN cannot connect to the Space Manager server. An ODBC test connection says the database server is not running.

If you disable the firewall on the server, the workstation connects OK.

SOLUTION: On the server, go to the firewall settings and ADD and new program. Browse to the DBSRV8 or DBSRV7 (which ever is appropriate) and add it to the exceptions list.
