- Network Troubleshooting:
· Troubleshoot your network to ensure it's functioning correctly. Check cables, routers, and switches for any issues that may disrupt communication between QuickBooks users.
- Firewall and Security Settings:
· Ensure your firewall and security software aren't blocking QuickBooks or its network connections. Add QuickBooks to the list of trusted applications if needed.
- Permissions and User Roles:
· Review user permissions and roles in QuickBooks to ensure everyone has appropriate access rights for multi-user mode. Adjust as necessary to resolve any permission-related issues.
