I’m running out of ideas and hope someone could give me some directions.
I have a Windows 2003 Domain Controller. I have installed my hub Domino server 8.0.2 FP3 (Server A) on this computer. Everything is working fine for many years.
Recently, I installed a Windows 2008 R2 64-bit server and joined to the Windows domain fine. I installed a Domino 8.5.2 (Server B) on this server and I can connect to the Domino server in the DC with no problem during installation.
When I try to issue the replicate command from the Server A to Server B, it errors out “The remote system is not responding”.
When I ping Server B from Server A, errors “Request timed out”.
When I ping Server A from Server B, I have no problem.
I thought it was IPV6 at fault, so I disabled it on Server B, however the issue still the same error.
I added TCP_EnableIPV6=1 to Notes.ini of both servers and still the same error.
I’m running out of ideas where went wrong. I hope to gather some ideas from this forum.
Subject: The server is not responding. The server may be down or you may be experiencing network problems. Contact your system administrator if this problem persists.
I always have this error on Server B in the Domino console log:-
11/30/2010 12:25:57 PM LAN1tcpip: The network port driver is an incompatible version
I have since disabled the port “NetBios over TCP/IP Network” but I still cannot trace Server B from Server A’s Domino console.

Add Firewall exceptions as follows…1. Start the Windows Server 2008 Server Manager program.
Go to Configuration → Windows Firewall → Inbound Rules → New Rule.
Set Type = Port, TCP/UDP = TCP, Specific Port = 1352, Allow the Connection, When = Domain+Private+Public (or set as you want for tighter security), Name = Lotus Notes. If your server is also a domino web server then you will need to open port 80 also.
Press Finish to save and enable the new rule.
Find the built-in rule named “File and Printer Sharing Echo Request ICMPv4”. Enable this rule. (This step is not required but it allows the server to respond to a standard PING request, which is often helpful.)
