Hi, I have a problem that I cannot connect to the Domino 8.0 on linux from the Notes Clinet 8.0 on Windows.

My domino server is v8.0, installed in SUSE Linux 10 system. I want to connect to that server from my notes client v8.0, which is installed in Windows XP (sp2).From console, it seems that Domino server does function well without error. Besides, I can get reply from the Server if I use the ping command from my client workstation.

However, the message always occurs “Unable to find path to server. To trace this connection, use File - Preferences - User Preferences - Ports - Trace (Notes client) or Trace command (Domino server)” when I click File->Open->Database, and type the Linux IP or Domino server name.

Thanks in advance for your advice.

You’ll need to open port 1352 on your firewall.

  1. Run vi /etc/sysconfig/SuSEfirewall2

  2. Add 1352 and any other ports you need open (e.g. 80, 25, 443) to FW_SERVICES_EXT_TCP

  3. Run /sbin/SuSEfirewall2 start
