Connecting inFlow over the Internet |
|||||||
The multi-user functionality of inFlow is designed mainly for connecting computers over a local area network (LAN). We don't officially support using inFlow between computers connected over the Internet, but a number of people have done this successfully. Here are some tips that may help if you'd like to try this for yourself as well. The three main ways of connecting inFlow over the Internet are: using remote desktop, using a virtual private network (VPN), and directly connecting over the internet. Connecting using Remote DesktopOne way to allow access to inFlow from outside your LAN is to set up one machine on your LAN with inFlow and as a remote desktop host. Then, other machines can connect to this host via remote desktop, as if they were using that machine directly. The remote desktop host will need to be running Windows XP Professional, Vista Business, or Vista Ultimate to host remote desktop. You may find the links below useful in setting up remote desktop. (Disclaimer: We don't have any affiliation with or endorse these links.) Remote Desktop on XP: http://www.online-tech-tips.com/windows-xp/how-to-setup-remote-desktop-on-windows-xp/ Remote Desktop on Vista: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/01/26/turn-on-or-enable-remote-desktop-on-windows-vista/ Connecting using a VPNYou may also want to consider setting up a VPN to allow computers over the internet to access your LAN. You may find the links below useful in setting up a VPN.(Disclaimer: We don't have any affiliation with or endorse these links.) VPNs on XP: http://www.onecomputerguy.com/networking/xp_vpn_server.htm VPNs on Vista: http://windowshelp.microsoft.com/Windows/en-US/help/f22a374f-929e-43bf-9583-de62942490e81033.mspx Hamachi VPN software: https://secure.logmein.com/products/hamachi/vpn.asp?lang=en Directly connecting over the internetIf you're not able to set up remote desktop or a VPN, you may also want to have client computers connect directly to the database on the inFlow server over the Internet. Note that inFlow does not encrypt data sent over the network using this method. To do this, when setting up inFlow to connect to the server for the Server Name, you'll need to put in the internet IP address of the server computer for the Server Name in inFlow. The easiest way to get this IP address is to use a web browser on the server computer, do an internet search for what is my ip address, and use the IP address given on one of those sites. If the server computer is using a router, you may also need to set up port forwarding on the router to correctly direct connections to the server computer. You may find the link below useful in setting up port forwarding on your router. (Disclaimer:We don't have any affiliation with this site or endorse it.) Port forwarding for various routers: You'll need to do the port forwarding for SQL Server Browser on port 1434 for the UDP protocol. Port forwarding for inFlow's SQL ServerTo correctly set up port forwarding for inFlow's SQL Server, you'll want it to use the same port each time. To do this:
You should then set up port forwarding for the TCP port number you chose above on your router. Using an unchanging IP addressMost internet service providers (ISP) do not guarantee that you'll have the same IP address all the time; it may change each time you reconnect, or in less frequent intervals. This makes it less convenient for others to connect to you whether by VPN, Remote Desktop or direct internet connection to inFlow, since they will have to always use the most up-to-date IP address. If you find this is a problem, you may wish to look into getting an unchanging IP address. This is typically called a static IP address, and some ISPs offer this as an extra service, typically for a small charge. Alternatively, you might look into a service which gives you a fixed address which you can keep updated to point to your server. This is often called Dynamic DNS. One site that currently provides this service for free, with some limitations, is linked below: Dynamic DNS http://www.dyndns.com/services/dns/dyndns/ You can then have client computers connecting directly over the internet use this as the Server Name instead of the IP address; or as an address when setting up remote desktop or a VPN. Avoid bandwidth-intensive operations over the InternetWhen connected over the Internet (or via a VPN over the Internet), using large pictures or file attachments may cause problems. We recommend using smaller pictures (100-200 kb) for your products and company logo, and to avoid working with large file attachments. Also, the database backup and restore operations are very bandwidth intensive, and may be very slow or fail when initiated from a computer connected to the server over the internet. We recommend performing these operations from the server computer directly, or a computer connected to the server over a LAN. |

So, in your example, do I have to forward ports 13724 and 1434 in my router?
Yes. But your SQL server settings might be different, so you will need to double check whether ports 13724 and 1434 are used.

Can you take a look at the troubleshooting guide here? http://www.inflowinventory.com/KnowledgeBase/questions/62/Troubleshooting+Multi-User+Mode+Connections If you're connecting over the internet, the VPN option is probably your best bet.

Hello, We have the standard version of InFlow and 1 user licence. I am having trouble loading the program due to inability to connect to the server. I don't need to connect. Please let me know about the best option for our business. Thank you Igor AVA Siding
Igor, is this problem being unable to connect from the computer you just installed inFlow on? Can you check the troubleshooting guide here: http://www.inflowinventory.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=53 Thanks. -Stephen
Our Inflow is having problem and we cannot access the program anymore. It is displaying an error so what I did was I backed up the files needed and re-installed the software. After re-installing it gave me a pop-up window asking me to log-in using the given username and password. But it won't let me. It is showing an error as: DataPortal.Update failed (Archon.Rapid.Base.ServerReturnedException: Login failed for user 'sa'. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'sa'. at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionPool.GetConnection(DbConnection owningObject) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionFactory.GetConnection(DbConnection owningConnection) at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionClosed.OpenConnection(DbConnection outerConnection, DbConnectionFactory connectionFactory) at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open() at Archon.Rapid.Base.ConnectionManager.get_Connection() at Archon.Rapid.Module.CmdGetDBVersion.DataPortal_ExecuteBody() at Archon.Rapid.Base.ArchonCommandBase.DataPortal_Execute() --- End of inner exception stack trace --- at Archon.Rapid.Base.ArchonCommandBase.DataPortal_Execute()) at Archon.Rapid.Base.ArchonCommandBase.DataPortal_Execute() at Csla.MethodCaller.CallMethod(Object obj, MethodInfo info, Object[] parameters) at Csla.MethodCaller.CallMethod(Object obj, String method, Object[] parameters) at Csla.Server.SimpleDataPortal.Update(Object obj, DataPortalContext context) at Csla.DataPortal.Update(Object obj) at Csla.DataPortal.Update[T](T obj) at Csla.DataPortal.Execute[T](T obj) at Archon.Rapid.Module.CmdGetDBVersion.GetDBVersionTestConnection() at Archon.Rapid.Base.FmConnectionSetup.btnRetry_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) Can you fix this?

Hi, I can't start inflow inventory. I get prompted to connect to a server. The computer i'm using is the only PC i use inflow on (ie i suppose it is the server). Can you help? I need to get the program running to track my warehouse's inventory asap.

Can this application be used in a intranet style connection?
i cant get to do my inventory. its asking for a password
The application should be able to used in an intranet style connection, though we haven't tried it. Gerardo, if it asks for a password, you can look it up on the server machine.

I am trying to go into InFlow on a single user machine with no network of any kind. I am getting a dialogue box with Current Connection info followed by New Connection Info and password. Usually InFlow just sends me directly to my inventory modules. Why is this happening. Anne
Hi Anne, I have sent you an email with the troubleshooting information. If you're still encountering issues, please send an email to support@inflowinventory.com, and we'll assist you from there. Thanks. -Amy
I trialled the freeware on my PC and have just upgraded to the Standard edition. As we are going ahead using the software I want to move the database to another PC as the server, as our purchasing officer will be the main one using it. Where is the database located and how can I transfer the database over to another PC so I do not loose the information already loaded.
The easiest way is to do a Backup Data within inFlow. This will save your entire database into a single file. You can then transfer that file to your server, do a Restore Data within inFlow, and all your data will be moved. Thanks. -Louis
I have been trying to do all of the suggested troubleshooting recommendations all day. I am still prompted for password -- tried to look it up etc. ready to give up. I too only want to use it on one computer for a very very small business. I do not need or want to store on online database???
Hi Mary, Sorry for the trouble with the installation here. You're right, you don't need to set it up to work over the internet. But inFlow uses a Microsoft SQL Server database in the background, and it shows the Server Name/Password prompt if there's trouble with that. This is the troubleshooting guide installing SQL Server: http://www.inflowinventory.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=53 Can you let us know what happens when you try those solutions and send the log files listed there? That'll give us some more info to look into the problem. thanks, -Stephen

Hi! I'm still trying to start Inventory. I used all the methods and parameters defined in the differnet forums. The result is always the same "failed to connect" with error 26. I was expecting the product to work witout having to go thru data base installation features. Could you send me a useful documentation and the procedures direcly linked to your product. If I can't test the free version, I'll be anable to eventually buy the complete one. I'm using XP SP3, Sql express server 2005 french. Thanks for your answer. Best regards Dominique

You should provide a service as an ASP (application service provider) in order to avoid having to do any of the installation and networking ourselves. This would allow secure connections over the internet as well as provide back-up. This would be a great benefit and an additional source of revenue for your company.

Hi Muhammad, please try the solutions on this link: http://www.inflowinventory.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=53
what is our server name & password?
For Server Name, type in "." (i.e. just the dot). For password, you need to look it up in your registry: 1. Go onto the computer. On Windows XP, click Start, Run, and then type regedit. On Vista, click Start, type and select regedit. 2. Look up the password in the value of SQLPwd of the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\inFlow Inventory. If you're still having the pop-up window, there might be a problem with the installation of Microsoft SQL Server, so please take a look at the suggested solutions on our troubleshooting guide: http://www.inflowinventory.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=53

This password and connecting issue requires too much technical knowledge to resolve. I've spent a whole weekend with your advise and Microsoft's update website. I believe this is someting YOU should correct, not the end user. Until that time comes, I'll use something else.
Unfortunately, different computer network will require different settings. Issues such as the internet router, IP addresses, firewall, etc. are beyond inFlow's control. Sorry about this.

I just want to use the inventory manager on a single computer. I don't need the network capability at all. Is there a way to simply not connect to a server at startup?
Hi Will, even when inFlow is running on a single computer, it needs to connect to the SQL Server running in the background as the database server. In most cases it won't ask for a server connection since it's already connected in the background. If it prompts you for the connection, it means the SQL server is not installed/configured properly. Please take a look at http://www.inflowinventory.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=53 to resolve this issue. Thanks.
I want to run iFlow on single computer. But I am unable to do this. Error is like this Could not load file or assembly 'System.EnterpriseServices, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified. at Csla.Server.DataPortal.Update(Object obj, DataPortalContext context) at Csla.DataPortalClient.LocalProxy.Update(Object obj, DataPortalContext context) at Csla.DataPortal.Update(Object obj) at Csla.DataPortal.Update[T](T obj) at Csla.DataPortal.Execute[T](T obj) at Archon.Rapid.Module.CmdGetDBVersion.GetDBVersionTestConnection() at Archon.Rapid.Base.FmConnectionSetup.btnRetry_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) Can someone help me on this issue.

Hi Xander, when you uninstall inFlow, the uninstaller asks whether you want to remove the data files or not. If you click yes, then the inFlow SQL files will be deleted.

Hi Sajjad. If you're being asked for the server name immediately after the installation, there was most likely a problem with the installation. Please take a look at our troubleshooting guide here: http://www.inflowinventory.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=53

I was having trouble also with Inflow asking for server name and password. What works easily for me: 1-Installed Microsoft SQL 2005. Link available there (http://www.inflowinventory.com/Forum/viewtopic.php?t=53). I only work with solution 5, and started at 5). I did not do 1-2-3-4. 2-Uninstall and reinstall the Inflow software, and it works P.S. i'm using vista, 32bit. Hope that helps.
