Hi all,
I have tried so many different things (from making sure TAO is on, to checking regedit to clarify the port being used by SQL, to starting theSQL Server agent , names pipes etc etc) but i can only connect the client ( SAP 9 pl5) to the server when the firewall on the server is off! Both server and client machine are on Win 2012 64bit.
I have added SAP to the exceptions list,and added ports ( 135, 1433-1444, 2099, 2383, 30000-30001, 4022, 48801) but the client will just not connect unless the firewall on the server is off!!!
Any brainy people here can help ?
