Technote (troubleshooting)

Problem(Abstract)

The MDE Windows client fails with the error "The Network Adapter could not establish the connection" Symptom

The following error appears in the MDE related logs:

java.sql.SQLException: Io exception: The Network Adapter could not establish the connection Cause

Resolving the problem

1. Update the Windows hosts file with the fully qualified hostname for the Database server and/or

2. Use the fully qualified hostname for the Database server in the topology
