Server stuck on "All Addresses" & can't connect. |

adam | Dear All,
Sorry to be asking another question ... I've been asking too many in recent days. I have this DBSRVR running on a LAN. Initially everything seemed to be going wrong, but that was mainly because the Server had been infected with a Virus virtually out-of-the-box before installed Virus software was updated! Now it is clean, BUT I cannot get DBSRVR to run on a specific IP. I have altered the DBSRVR.INI as I always do, and even tried the run-time switch "c:\DBServer\DBSRVR.exe /SA 192.168.0.1" but when I check the DBSRVR says that it is listening on "All Addresses" and if I try to access it on 192.168.0.1 I get nothing. I can still connect on the server itself with an IP of 127.0.0.1 ... which really confuses me! Adam |

<< Sorry to be asking another question ...

Did you verify that the server was not already running when you started the new dbsrvr process, i.e. that you don't have multiple instances of the database server running by accident ? -- Tim Young Elevate Software www.elevatesoft.com |

adam | I am not yet running it as a service, I'm just trying to get it started.
I have created a shortcut to the DBSRVR I right click on the icon & add the "/SA 192.168.0.1" section onto the end of the "Run in" section. The INI file also sets the Server Address. On my development machine its fine, I open the server & it shows the Server Address ... on the customers machine it just shows "All Addresses" ... |

I do write the command line after the DBSRVR.exe in the "Target" edit box, I was writing from memory & forgot what it was called. On my laptop I set the DBSRVR up with command line & it works, on their machine I still have "all addresses" as the address (and can only open SRVAdmin on 127.0.0.1) even though I have used an INI file & the command line switch. What could be going wrong? Is it possible that their network limits use of some IP addresses? (I am using 192.168.0.1, but also tried on 10.0.0.1) and if so, how can I check which ones might be available on the network? Adam |

Charles Tyson | Adam,
In the server shortcut's Properties|Target, try writing the parameter without a space (e.g. /SA127.0.0.1). Does that make a difference? On my computer, "/SA 127.0.0.1" results in the Main Address being listed as "All addresses"--if I take away the space, the Main Address becomes 127.0.0.1. Charles Tyson |

Adam,
Firstly, can I ask why you are trying to set the IP address? If my understanding is correct, this setting only comes into play when the PC acting as the server has more than one network interface, and you only want to allow incoming access through one of them. Secondly, where did you get the idea that you should set 192.168.0.1? If you open a command prompt window, and type ipconfig, you will see one set of details for each network interface in the machine. This will tell you what IP address range is in use on each network interface. If the PC is connected to a router whose DHCP server is allocating the IP addresses, then it is highly likely that the router will have allocated 192.168.0.1 for itself. See the Default Gateway line in the ipconfig display. The IP address that the PC is known as on each network is listed on the IP Address line of the ipconfig display. --Bill Sparrow-- |
