If you still see the error, try the next solution.

Add your server to the Windows hosts file
Important: Use the IP address and Computer name from Solution 1, Step 2.

Note: If the following resolves the issue, this may indicate your server is using a Dynanmic IP address or there is an issue in the DNS settings of the network. Intuit recommends you notify your IT person of the changes made so they can investigate the DNS and IP settings of the network.

1. On the workstation where you see the error, open the Windows hosts file.
