I am using an Outlook application that connects from the client machine to the server using named pipes. When I try to connect to the database from the client using the IP of the server it fails.
Using a tool called AppSight (it is like a black box that can record everything the application is doing), I see that the application is trying to run the following command: Open \\[Server IP Address]\Pipes\wkssvc and this operation fails. It is obviously trying to open a file on the client but is not able to.
There is no firewall running on client or server. I am able to connect to the server when I put the client on other networks, just not a few specific ISPs, so I assume they are blocking this port.
I am hoping that I may be able to work around this by doing some port forwarding. Any help would be appreciated.
