FrontOffice - connection/configuration problem

ziggy1

I´m having a problem connecting to the teamsite server via the Front-Office Briefcase configuration wizard.

And in the TeamSite configuration wizard I enter my
username(user1),
password
and domain:"iwov" (iwov being the name of the teamsite computer, since the teamsite machine is not running on a domain but as a workgroup machine.)

In the settings dialog I enter the dns name of the teamsite server and I can ping that address from the client machine.
The port number is "80" (the iw-webd port)

But the error I get is:

Could not connect to TeamSite Server.
Please verify the following:
1.) TeamSite Servername and Port number are specified correctly.
2.) TeamSite server is running.


Both of these things have been verified.


My iwwa.cfg file looks like this:
<workareaMap>
<workgroup>
<workarea alias="WebDevelopment" >
//teamsite.dns.server.name/default/main/test/WORKAREA/webDev
</workarea>
<members>
<userid name="iwov\user1"/>
</members>
</workgroup>
</workareaMap>

P.S: I've tried different variations of the <workarea> value like:
\\teamsite.dns.server.name\default\main\test\WORKAREA\webDev
\\default\main\test\WORKAREA\webDev
//default/main/test/WORKAREA/webDev

and I'm not quite sure which way is the right one.


The teamsite machine is a workgroup machine and the client trying to connect to it is not in that workgroup but a machine that is a member of another domain.
Is that something that could be causing this problem or is there something I am not doing right or forgetting about ?

I posted this a while ago and never got a response..
I am doing this according to the manual but still it doesn´t work.

I think the problem has something to do with the fact that the teamsite server is not a part of a domain, but running as a workgroup computer outside our network. The workgroup is called iwov and our computers don't recognise it. since it´s outside our network and not a domain.

Perhaps I´m wrong and I hope I'm just forgetting something or doing something wrong in the configuration file...

Any ideas ??
