Problem with Quickbooks and RWW on the server of an SBS 2003 R2 box - possibly related?

We have an sbs 2003 R2 server that has quickbooks premier 2006 installed on it. It's been running fine for a couple years. Users can't get into quickbooks today - they get an error that the file can't be opened and the error code is -6108,-105.

I try connecting via RWW to the server. I can log in remotely, it accepts my password but when I try to connect to the server I get 'connectivity to the remote computer cannot be established....'. RWW on that server has been working fine for a long time also. I can RWW to desktops no problem.

Microsoft says something else might be using port 4125 (but I can get to the server to sign in, so it's not completely messed up). I stopped the MAD.exe service and still no luck.

Nothing in the event log about any errors.

Any ideas?

thanks. this is an R2 machine that was installed < 1 year ago. SP2 came out months ago, right? 2 things - I didn;t install it, because I heard it was causing problems (maybe it was this RWW problem!) and did they recently start to push it out / make you accept it?

I run the netstat command you mention in that link and it comes back that nothing is running on that port. b ut the TS service says it is started (but stop and start are greyed out).

the quickbooks issue seems to be resolved - reinstall on the server and delete the ND files - not sure which solved it but both togethter did it.
