When I change the DNS number on my workstation, the engine fails.

Is there somewhere else I need to change.

In Pervasive System Analyzer the sample fails with error 3012.

Can you provide more information on this?  Are you changing the IP Address for your Domain Name Server?  Are you trying to access a remote server, or a local Workgroup Engine?  How do you recover from the 3012 Status Code?

Right now my dns number is the server ip address. When I change my work stations to my isp dns numbers, I get the error. When I change back to the servers ip address all is back to normal.

 When you change the DNS to your ISP values, can you ping the Pervasive server by name?  You can add an entry in the HOSTS file with the server's IP address and name.

Yes I can ping the server. Where is the Hosts file??

The hosts file is in the Windows System directory (Example: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc).  You will see a file called Hosts with no extension.  Open it with Notepad or Wordpad.  The last entry in the file may look something like this:

 127.0.0.1       localhost

Below the last line enter the IP address of the server press tab and enter the name of the server.  Close and save the file.

That did it.

Thank you
