Not Found Error Message 201

Gary,

Sounds like you have 2 stations set as Register #1 and one machine is not pointing to the other.

We always set the machine with the RMS database on it to a static IP address. If the back office machine will not be used as a register, so we set it as register # 0.

Admin | File | Connect | put in your password | Register tab | each Register # needs to be unique.

On the non-database machine, in Admin again, on the Connect and Configuration windows, we set the database server name to the static IP address of the server and put the same database name in each.

Thanks Jeff,

I will go up to the store this morning and set the computers to static addresses and change the backoffice computer's register number to 0, as well as resetting the register computer to point to the IP instead of the machine name.

I will report back with the results

The computer called backoffice, which holds the database, was changed to

While in Administrator/Files/Configuration/Register, I changed the register number to "0" to reflect that this computer will not be used as a cash register.

I now get "Connection Error 206: The register is not in the database".

What am I missing here, and how do I correct it.

The computer called RegisterONE was changed to 192.168.1.51, and then I went into Administrator and changed the server name under Connection and Configuration. Under Configuration/Register, I left it at the default "1" and the paths reflecting the correct paths in that computer (not the backoffice computer that hosts the database). I tried to change the MSDN Server to

When I try to access Manager or POS from the register computer, it still gives the original 201 error.

With the settings as noted above, I can go into Administrator on either computer and log into the database without a problem. I can go to a command window and ping the other computer by IP or computer name with 100% successs.

So . . . we are stil missing something there also.

What would you suggest from here?

OK, not having received any ideas over the weekend, I decided to take a different approach.

With the register off, I booted the backoffice computer and used Administrator to change it back to Register #1. I was then able to get into Manager and use Database|Registers|Register List to create a new register with the number "0" (zero).

You failed to mention that this step was necessary . . . probably assuming that I am a whole lot more experienced at RMS and database building than I am, but I picked it up from another post on a slightly different problem.

The backoffice machine now logs into Manager just fine, and the register (#1) logs into POS just fine. However, I found that if I tried to log into Manager from the register, that it couldn't find the database (it can find it just fine from POS or Administrator).

This isn't an operational problem at this point, but I am sure that sooner or later I will have the need to go into Manager from the register for some little thing. Any suggestions on what I might be leaving out here?

Remember, I am a newbe with RMS 1.3 and with databases, so speak slowly and use small words .

Jeff,

Thanks for the quick reply.

They could do it via the backup route, but they prefer the VPN method so they can get real-time reports on their schedule independent of the store's schedule (they keep different hours in many cases).

What they would be us> Gary,

blocked by a firewall.

Remind them that they can't make any changes that will be saved.

they will be controlling a store machine, so nothing needs to be done.
