Looks like it can't connect to dispatcher. Are you working on the server itself? else check the network connections to SAP .

[Former Member]

Well.

I did a ping to the server, and i can reach it...

I'm not working on the server itself...

Hi Jose,

I execute that command and this is the output:

C:\>niping -v -S sapdp00

check your "services" file, if the service sapdp00 is listed there (you actually mean <b>sapdp00</b> and not sapd<b>b</b>p00...?)

you can find it at:

Unix: /etc/services

Windows: <windir>/system32/drivers/etc

the entry should look like:

sapdp00 3200/tcp

I had the same problem. In my machine this is the key and the value to make it work:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters

Value Name: DataBasePath

Value Data: c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

-

Instead of c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

I had: %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc

I'm not sure what happend, because if in command window i execute:

echo %SystemRoot%

the output it's : "windows"

Well... just making that change in register... the sap logon works again!

Albio.-
