How can I tell if my firewall is allowing a connection to the Relais Database?
Applies to
- Relais
Answer
A quick way to test the connection by opening the command prompt and running these telnet commands:
- telnet db0.relais-host.com 1433
- telnet db0.relais-host.com 1432
A blinking cursor on a blank screen is an indication of a successful connection.
Additional information
Errors like "Run-time Error 2147220496" suggest a database connection issue, which means the firewall is not configured correctly.
