I’ve disabled the firewall on my Windows Embedded 2009 POSReady and I’m still not able to connect to the DB. What are some other avenues to pursue. It’s all local to one machine, not networked.

Hello!

This execption/error stumps most developers/IT staff who have just recently been exposed to Windows Server 2008 R2. I belive the R2 blocks incoming transactions by default, while the vanilla-2008 did not. Therefore, all of a sudden a system/database that worked fine on a Windows 2008 Server fails to accept connections from remote machines when upgraded to run on Windows 2008 R2 Server.
