Cannot Connect from Windows SAP GUI

[Former Member]

I have installed 2004s test drive, but I am unable to connect from Windows. It just hangs with a message "waiting for response". However, using netstat, it appears that there is an established connection.

I have no firewall running, and I don't see any suspicious messages in /usr/sap/N4S/DVEBMGS01/work.

Can someone suggest what else to try? Thanks.

Hello Jerry...

One comment here that might help you. If you look at the netstat output a little bit more carefully, you should see, that the instance listening on the systemnumber 00 (the port 3200) is not the N4S, but the SCS0 instance. The Netweaver 2004s instance is listening on system number 01, that is, port 3201, or if you want to use the message server, 3601.

PS. I got the same 'waiting for response' message when I initially tried to connect to the systemnumber 00, which we used to use as the default systemnumber for new installations.

When I see the netstat output the only things I have note is that the system don't have its ip address.Probably you don't have set up correctly the ip addres of the N4S : try to simply associate the ip of your machine with the name of the N4S systems in /etc/hosts.

Dear Jerry,

the "waiting for response" popup with an already half way passed progress bar indicates that the message server was reached. This is good, the GUI reached the server

After starting the N4S system it may take up to several minutes until something happens. How long did you wait? If after 15 minutes nothing happens, there might be a problem, but until then it may just be the slow machine.

Well, I probably waited 15 minutes, but I'll give it another try. Thanks for the help.
