Talk Expert To Fix QuickBooks Error H202

I'd be happy to guide you through some steps to help

fix QuickBooks error H202. This error typically occurs when
QuickBooks is trying to establish a connection to a company file
located on another computer, and that computer requires additional
configuration.
• Verify Network Configuration:
• Ensure all computers are connected to the same network.
• Check that the hosting settings on the server are properly configured.
Open QuickBooks and go to File > Utilities. Make sure "
Host Multi-User Access" is selected.
• Check Firewall Settings:
⚬ Make sure that your
firewall isn't blocking QuickBooks from accessing the necessary
ports. You may need to add exceptions for QuickBooks.
• Edit the Hosts File:
⚬ On the computer where the company file is stored, you may need
to modify the Windows hosts file to include the IP addresses of all
the computers involved. This can help in resolving network-related
issues.
• Use the QuickBooks Database Server Manager:
⚬ Install and run the QuickBooks Database Server Manager on the computer
where the company file is stored. This tool helps manage multi-user access.
• Verify QuickBooks Services:
⚬ Ensure that QuickBooks services are running on all computers involved.
Press Windows key + R to open the Run dialog, then type services.msc and
press Enter. Look for services starting with "QuickBooksDB" and make
sure they are set to Automatic and are running.
• Ping the Server:
⚬ From each computer, try pinging the server where the company file is
located. Open a command prompt and type ping [server's IP address]. This
checks if the computers can communicate.
• Restart Computers:
⚬ Sometimes, a simple restart can resolve network-related issues.
• Use QuickBooks Connection Diagnostic Tool:
⚬ Download and run the QuickBooks Connection Diagnostic Tool. It can
help identify and fix network and connectivity issues.
• Seek Professional Help:
⚬ If the issue persists, it may be best to consult with a professional IT or
QuickBooks expert who can provide more specialized assistance.
 CONCLUSION
Remember to always back up your company files before making

significant changes to your QuickBooks setup. If you're not

comfortable with any of these steps, it's always a good idea to seek

help from a qualified professional.
