Hello, Amanda Steffens.
Thank you for reaching out to the Community. Let me share some insight about error H202 and the possible cause behind this error.
The error H202 usually means that a multi-user connection to your server computer, used for storing QuickBooks company files (QBW), is blocked. Inability to communicate with the server computer will prevent you from accessing the QuickBooks company file.
What Causes QuickBooks Error H202:
QuickBooks error code H202 occurs when QuickBooks Desktop is trying to establish a connection to the company file, but can’t communicate with the server due to one of the following reasons:
- Incorrect hosting configuration settings.
- The server computer firewall is blocking incoming and outgoing communication.
- Conflict with DNS server.
- QuickBooks is unable to get the IP address of the host system or server hosting the company file.
- Some internal QuickBooks services like QuickBooksDBXX or QBCFMonitor aren’t running on the server computer.
- The network data file (.ND) is corrupt or damaged.
