=Description= 

As a result of the Windows 10 1803 update, when running RangerMSP application you get the following error:

 Error 6420:  The 'discovery' process for the Advantage Database Server failed. Unable to connect to the Advantage Database Server.  axServerConnect

=Resolution=

1. Configure ADS.ini under the '''<server>\RangerMSP\LastVer''' folder, open this file in Notepad and add the following settings:

[192.168.0.1] <br>
LAN_IP=192.168.0.1 <br>
LAN_PORT=6262 <br>

<br>
[MYSERVER] <br>
LAN_IP=192.168.0.1 <br>
LAN_PORT=6262 <br>
<br>
*Replace '''MYSERVER''' with the name of '''YOUR server'''
*Replace the '''192.168.0.1''' IP address with the '''LOCAL IP address of your server'''.
*Replace the port number '''6262''' to the one used for SQL in your setup ('''this can be viewed by running Advantage Configuration Utility on your server, look for the port in use for your LAN''').


2. Add '''ADS.exe''', which is the SQL backend executable, through the server firewall. Then RESTART your server
