What ports does Advantage Database Server need?
- by asherber
I have an application which uses ADS and I am attempting to deploy it in
a Windows network environment with a rather restrictive firewall. I am
having a problem configuring firewall ports appropriately.
ADS lives on \\server, and it's listening on port 1234. When \\client
tries to connect to \\server\tables, I get Error 6420 (Discovery process
failed). When \client tries to connect to \\server:1234\tables, I get error
6097, bad IP address specified in the connection path. \\server is pingable from \\client, and I can telnet to \server:1234.
If I try to connect from a client machine inside the firewall, either
connection path works fine.
It seems there must be something else I need to open in the firewall. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Aaron.
Edit: I should have specified that the firewall is open to \\server:1234 specifically for TCP traffic. Is UDP involved here in some way?
