First let me say that I use the term "geek" with great respect. I wish I were a computer geek. Problem: My server computer has two network cards in it. One is integrated into the MB And the other is a separate card. Recently, I re-wired my ethernet switch to make sure the connections were organized, and mapped out in a logical fashion. All connections run into an HP pro curve 10/100/1000 24-port switch. The network cable positions were simply changed and all ports appear to be active and working properly. However, when I use one network card, all computers can connect to the server. But when I switch to the other card, all but 3 computers can connect. Of the computers that cannot connect, one runs XP and the other two run Vista. On the computers that cannot connect, I can navigate to the AmazingCharts file on the server. I can even copy the XML file and past it on the client computer's desktop. So the network connection appears to be intact and working properly. It is just that when I try to connect to AC, the computer says "attempting to connect" but just does not connect to the SQL database. Any thoughts as to why ones server network card allows all connections, but the other does not? Thank in advance for your thoughts. BTW, my server runs XP and I am on AC Version 6.33
