The computer is unable to resolve HOSTNAME or via SERVERNAME

Domain Name System (DNS) problems can be narrowed down to a NETWORK problem. It can either be a computer problem or a network configuration problem. Either of which, digging down the CAUSE of the problem and troubleshooting is a near impossible task via remote.

Refer the problem to the customer's IT/Tech guy

As a form of a temporary workaround, you can create a map drive to the shared Windward folder by using the server's IP ADDRESS.


Step by step troubleshooting

  1. Ensure that System5 at the server and workstation are on the same version
  2. Ensure that the current Windows user logged in has permissions to read/write to the registry
  3. Check the firewall setting for pervasive ports on the affected workstation/s

Go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Windward\System5

  1. Remove/Delete the path to System5
  2. Then go and link it back to the dataset
