I'm using Dev Studio 5.33. I have Win XP Pro. At work, in the office, I have no problem. But when I work at home, using dialup, I can no longer get to our EDASERVE server under WebFOCUS Environments.

At home, when dialing in, I can get to our server using Internet Explorer and using Windows Explorer. I just can't get to it in Dev Studio. I had this problem last year and IBI helped me by telling me about IE settings. That lasted for a few months, but now I'm back to getting the "access denied" error message when I click on the WF Environment for our server. I've talked to our sys admin, but he thinks it's something I did on my computer at home. Other than switching from Norton to McAfee Firewall (even after disabling and then uninstalling McAfee I still get "access denied") the only other thing I remember doing is now I don't have to logon to my home computer, where sometime last year I did. IBI thinks my problem is from the security on our server being too tight.

Does anyone have any ideas as to why I can’t get to our server from Dev Studio (but I can in IE and Explorer)?

Thanks,

Mark,

A shot in the dark, but right click on the tree in Dev Studio and select properties. Select the various components - Client, Reporting Server, MRE (if you have it) etc. - and then check that the userids and passwords you have set are correct for your server accesses.

Good luck

Tony,

I am definitely in the dark about this.......

I've already checked my userid and password many times. I've tried logging on with and without prefacing my userid with my domain.

Our network guy thought the problem was that my password was being cached. I found MS Article 822707 ("Access Denied" error message when you try to access remote resources). I changed UseRasCredentials=1 to UseRasCredentials=0 in my .pbk file and the next time my network password changed (which I came to realize was when I would start to get ACCESS DENIED), I didn't get ACCESS DENIED.

Thanks,
