an unknown network error occurred. (40)
i am extremely new to solidworks products so forgive the "very basic" question. i cannot get a valid connection to pdmworks and need some help. here is what i've done:
1. i have pdmworks running on a machine called dev-solidworks and had created two users: admin and rodney. this was installed using defaults.
2. on my local machine, i created a view to the "vault" on dev-solidworks. (vault_setup.gif)
3. i can then access the vault in windows explorer ... appears to be no issues. (vault_access.gif & vault_view.gif)
4. when trying to access the vault in code however, i get an exception raised (an unknown network error occurred. (40)). i've even installed solidworks and dev studio on the pdmworks box in an attempt to isolate network traffic to the local machine but have received the same results. i have tried administrator as well as admin and rodney for the login
here is the code when run from the dev-solidworks machine (localhost):
imports pdmworks
imports system.windows.forms
public class form1
private sub form1_load(byval sender as system.object, byval e as system.eventargs) handles mybase.load
try
dim conn as pdmworks.pdmwconnection
conn = createobject("pdmworks.pdmwconnection")
conn.login("admin", "admin", "localhost") <-- blows right here
conn.logout()
conn = nothing
catch ex as exception
msgbox(ex.message)
end try
end sub
end class

if the name of the machine is "dev-solidworks" then try replacing "localhost" with the machine name, see if that works.
unfortunately localhost doesn't work either ... but thanks for trying!
well the only time you should be getting that error, is if the pointer to the server is invalid.
try using the the ip address for the vault machine in that place. according to help:
input:
(bstr) server
name of the server (dns name or ip address)
ip didnt work either. the ports are open (per netstat) and i have no firewall enabled ...

maybe add a pointer to the hosts file?

an understanding that without any understanding, we would all be misunderstood..
i *think* the machine knows who it is (after confirming w/ipconfig)
windows ip configuration

the only other thing i can think of is that it is in a virtual machine. the whole environment is in it though including pdmworks, visual studio, sql server, etc. it is completely self contained.

i thought the problem was connecting to dev-solidworks from another machine.. guess i misunderstood. sorry about that..
