We have a client server application that we has been residing on a PC within our small business network allowing connections from all PC’s on the network successfully.
We recently purchased a D-Link DNS-323 NAS unit with RAID and mirroring to house our database rather than requiring a Windows PC to be running 24×7.
PROBLEM: We receive the following message when attempting to access the database on the DNS-323 even though we have opened the ports on the router that the DNS-323 is attached to. We are using the same methodology previously used to access the db when stored on a PC.
Failed to connect to database.
Unable to complete network request to host “192.168.1.47”.
Failed to establish connection.
No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.
