Internet Client Error: Cannot Connect to Server
 

StoreFront users will sometimes encounter this error when trying to connect to a database using one of the StoreFront client tools, such as the StoreFront Administrator or Product Manager. If you encounter this error, make sure that when you are trying to connect the host entry in the Database Connection dialog box is set to localhost, your computer name(if running locally), or the domain name or IP of your web store without the http:// prefix(if trying to connect to a remote database). Also ensure that you are connected to the internet when trying to connect to a remote database.

For more information describing how to connect to a database using the StoreFront 2000 client tools, please see the article Connecting to remote and local databases using the StoreFront client tools.
