If QuickBooks can’t connect to a remote server, start by checking your internet connection and ensuring it’s stable. Verify that the QuickBooks Database Server Manager is installed and running on the host computer. Ensure that the firewall or antivirus isn’t blocking QuickBooks. Update QuickBooks to the latest version to avoid compatibility issues. Confirm that the QuickBooks company file is shared properly and that network settings are configured correctly. Restart both the host and client computers. If the issue persists, try running the QuickBooks File Doctor tool or reinstalling QuickBooks. These steps should help resolve connection problems with the remote server.
