Have you experienced these Error Messages
• Read Only
• Has experienced a network error…
• Cannot find connection manager…..
• Database has timed out……
• Simply Accounting cannot open the database….
• If you have not experienced these types of errors then this
session will give tools to enhance the connection manager’s
performance

Three main reasons for unable to connect
DHCP/DNS issues
.NET installation
Permissions
![Page 9: Welcome to Advanced Networking with Simply 2008 & 2009 Gregg Goede Product Specialist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815515550346895dc2f9e2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
DHCP/DNS issues
![Page 10: Welcome to Advanced Networking with Simply 2008 & 2009 Gregg Goede Product Specialist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815515550346895dc2f9e2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
• Like most programs Simply has incorporated .NET into its
report functionality
• Many advantages to have reports internet ready
• .NET must bind to the TCP/IP
• Problems develop if there is host name resolutions
![Page 11: Welcome to Advanced Networking with Simply 2008 & 2009 Gregg Goede Product Specialist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815515550346895dc2f9e2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
DHCP/DNS Questions to ask
• Who is handing out the IP addresses
• Is the Workstation’s host name resolution different than the
Server
• Is there static IP addresses or dynamic
• Is the DNS server private or public
• Are private IP addresses being blocked
![Page 12: Welcome to Advanced Networking with Simply 2008 & 2009 Gregg Goede Product Specialist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815515550346895dc2f9e2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Host Name Resolution• Check if name is same as localhost name. (hostname)
• Search local DNS Client resolver cache. (ipconfig /displaydns )
• Query the designated DNS server (nslookup)
• If host name is < 16 characters, convert to NetBIOS name -> Lookup local
NetBIOS name cache. (Enable NetBIOS over TCP/IP)
• Query WINS server. (use nslookup debug mode check TCP/IP settings.
See wins query.txt on CD)
• Use ping to broadcast to local subnet 3 times
• Search local LMHosts file. C:\windows\system32\drivers\etc

On the server….. Check .NET installation
Check C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
Run utility tool (netfx_setupverifier.exe)
Uninstall using Add/Remove and Reinstall .NET with Simply
Run clean-up tool (cleanup tool.exe)
Visit Microsoft website for more cleanup options

Permissions and Authentication
![Page 16: Welcome to Advanced Networking with Simply 2008 & 2009 Gregg Goede Product Specialist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815515550346895dc2f9e2/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Permissions Revisited
• Check the “log on as service” make sure the user is added as a service
• Use the network wizard
• Check mysqld-nt.exe process must be system (open up task manager)
• Super Admin user for Dell computers
• Upgrade yourself to a true admin user 'net user administrator /active:yes'
• If sharing parent folder do not share child
• As a TEST use the specialized data provided on the session CD

Command Line Help
• mysqld-nt.exe (open the data without user interface)
• ipconfig (trouble shoot DNS issues)
• netstat (port avaliability)
• telnet (port avaliability over network)
• nslookup (DNS issues)
• using portquery (port avaliability on server)

mysqld-nt.exe
• To test MySQL without the connection manager
• Msqld-nt –h server –P 13540 C:\data\universl.saj
• If successful window will remain open
• Can open with MySql query and check data

TIME_WIAT is healthy… waiting for connectionMany other variations – b lists Simply and MySQL
Can also use freeware program ports watch for realtime activity

telnet
• Quick way to test if port is open
• Open data with Simply or mysqld-nt.exe
• telnet server<>name 13540
• telnet will time out after a few seconds
• telnet is often restricted by security policies
• Better to use queryports

nslookup output
Server: Unknown Adress:192.168.254
No response from server ….. DSL modem configuring
Cannot find server name for address : Timed out
There is no DNS server, possible connection problems
Cannot find server name for address 127.0.0.1: Timed out
There is a DNS server running somewhere but is not defined
Default Server: server.com Address 10.140.53.4
The best output, query server for name resolution
Nslookup (set type ns) to find which DNS servers are available –ping test

Port Query
• Find local server ports currently open (portqry.exe –local)
• Find Simply port local ( portqry -n 127.0.0.1 –e 13540 )
• Find port on a server ( portqry -n 10.152.21.4 –e 13540 –p udp)
• To specify a specific source port –sp 80 –n 10.152.20.53 –e 13540)
to identify if there are ports being filtered or block from workstation to server
• Find port on a server ( portqry -n 10.152.21.4 –e 13540 –p udp -sl)
to determine if there is a slow link
• Endless permutations and combinations

Event Viewer – five different types
• .Net Runtime 2.0 Error
can signify damaged data or some .NET components are not installed properly
• MySQL
Will generate if there is a problem with the database structure ie. cannot find table
• Simply
Will generate if there is a problem with records when a query is run
• Simply Accounting Database connection manager
Will generate if the connection cannot load (1053/1069 errors)
• Side by Side errors
Ignore these errors, French foundation class not loaded

Linux Review
• 2009 Linux driver available
• Redhat
• SuSE
• Rumour that the driver has been installed on other Linux flavours
• Mono 1.9 must be installed
• ODBC installed
![Page 34: Welcome to Advanced Networking with Simply 2008 & 2009 Gregg Goede Product Specialist](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062808/56815515550346895dc2f9e2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Linux Gotha's
• Always install from command line root
• ODBC 5.0 will not work must uninstall and reinstall 3.5
• Do not install mono 2.0 from download. Install from install CD
• Run <command> do not rely on process report
• Do not run IP 6.0
