    Hello,

    You can install and access a second database server using the servername followed by :tcpport.

    Example:

    server.exe servername=myserver:3001,database=.......

    When you connect to the server you should put myserver:3001 in the open database dialog.

    This way you do not have to modify your hosts and services files. Anyone can connect to your db servers just using the :tcpport extention to the servername.

    Well, I put (for development) in the title.
    But it is also possible in a production-environment. Of course for performance it is best that every DB has its own server.

    I am not a Vista-specialist (actually never used it), but I think it is because you have only a double-byte characterset. I would try to enable also codepage 1252 or 852 in the regional settings.

    Is it possible to install multiple NAV servers with the database located on a network path? Not on a local drive?

    I never tried that, but I think it is not possible. You would need to use a format like "\\servername\subdir\filename.fdb" to point to the server and I am not sure the native DB can handle it.
    And even if he can handle it, it is better NOT to do it for performance reasons and safety reasons.
