Timeout error registering SAP server in Visual Studio server explorer

[Former Member]

I’m using version 2.01 of the SAP connector. When I go into the server explorer under SAP and add my server using Custom Login Settings I get the following error. Does anyone have any information on what’s happing here?

Thanks,

Ryan

Does "*...*" always means the same IP number?

Is the corresponding hostname "ps1999c"?

Is IP "*...*" pingable? If yes, can the command "telnet *...* sapgw05" connect?

Yes, the IP is all the same. I wasn't trying to be cryptic, just didn't think it was a go idea to advertise the whereabouts of a public server in a forum. I believe the host name is ps1999c. I can ping the IP but cannot telnet into the machine.

I installed the SAPGUI to see if I could connect with it. I was able to connect 1 time and now all subsequent times I get the same exact error that I get with the .NET API.

Thanks,

Ryan

Maybe there is a firewall that prevents the connection on TCP port sapgw05 (3305) to get through? Please check with your administrator.
