I have recently installed Developer Edition of SQL Anywhere 17 on a Windows Server VM. I am able to start the db and connect locally. On my laptop, I tried to connect to the database using SQL Central 17 and chose to connect to a running database on another computer. When I click the "Ping" button it is able to ping it, but I'm never able to actually connect to it. Is there a configuration I'm suppose to modify first on the server to allow connections remotely, like in Oracle where I need to change the tnsnames file from "localhost" to the host address?

Error message:

Could not connect to the database.

Database server not found

Ensure that the name in the "Server name" field is spelled correctly, that the network options on the network tab are correct and that the database server has been started. [SAP][ODBC Driver][SQL Anywhere]Database server not found SQLCODE=-100 SQLSTATE=08001

Connection parameters: User=* Password= Host=**:2638 Server=* DBN=*** LINKS=TCPIP

Thanks
