While I have read a lot in the forum about the issues with connecting from other terminals to the sql server and all the issues with the Firewalls, I was able to properly set the exceptions and connect perfectly fine from 2 of the terminals… however, 2 other terminals, on the same network, with the same software installed (Windows 11) throw up : Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server… which in my opinion does not make sense, as I have right next to the machine that throws that error an identical machine which connects without a problem. When I switch off the firewall on the server, then the second machine can connect, but the moment I switch the firewall back on, the first one can still connect but the second one right next to it, throws again the error.
I compared the two machines… same network, same OS, same SambaPOS version, same .NET version, same outgoing firewall settings … everything exactly the same, except one is a Microsoft Laptop and the other a Lenovo Laptop but that should not make a difference, should it?
Anybody with an idea why this is happening, would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
