On a multi-user network, QuickBooks company files (QBW) are stored on a server computer. All other computers connected to the network (that don’t host the QBW files) are called workstations. When a workstation fails to access a company file placed on another computer, it results in QuickBooks Error H202.
What causes QuickBooks Error H202?
QuickBooks error code H202 occurs when QuickBooks Desktop is trying to establish a connection to the company file, but can’t communicate with the server due to one of the following reasons:
• Incorrect hosting configuration settings.
• The server computer firewall is blocking incoming and outgoing communication.
• Conflict with DNS server.
• QuickBooks is unable to get the IP address of the host system or server hosting the company file.
• Some internal QuickBooks services like QuickBooksDBXX or QBCFMonitor aren’t running on the server computer.
• The network data file (.ND) is corrupt or damaged.
If the problem persists despite following all of the above solutions, you can contact QuickBooks customer support team for help.
