Posted on by 985

When I run Nav 2013 Role Tailored Client with my system connected through VPN to the nav server, i get the error "The server "net.tcp://<mynavconnecction>" is either unavailable or your connection has been lost."    I did add my domain credentials on the PC for the NAV server address in control panel but yet can not connect. please I need help.

    Is NAV service running?

    Did you add correct database name to service.

    Hey Toffsam,

    Check Following Things -

    1. Database Name, Server Name and Server Instance on the Service Tier.

    2. Check Build of service Tier and Client are Same.

    3. Check the user rights on SQL Server that is being used for running Service (Default is Network Service).

    Hi Mohana,

    Yes the Service is running and am also using the correct Database name.

    Hi Saurav,

    The Database Name, Server Name and Instance are all correct. If I connect thesame system with the same settings on the same network (without passing through VPN) it works.

    Hi Jonathan

    The ClientUserSettings.config file also has the correct setting values. The system is a member of the windows domain. If I connect it on the same network without passing through the VPN it works.

    Thanks.

    hi

    does the rtc client and the target service, when using vpn, have the same build version?

    is a profile id set for the current user?
    do you use attachments?

    Please check the ping for both Nav Server and DB Server, also check the required ports are being access through vpn or not.

    Hi Jonathan,

    Yes same build Version. The current user also has an account in the nav and can connect if not through VPN.(i.e on same network)

    Hi Poonia,

    I can reach the servers when I ping. I even can run the remote desktop on the server from my VPN connection and run nav from there(Directly on the server).   But when I run the rtc installed on the machine itself, it does not connect and this same rtc on the machine connects when am on same connection (not VPN) with same account.
