About the error
QuickBooks uses a multi-user network to connect the server computer and other workstations. This issue can occur when you switch to multi-user mode or try to access a company file located on the multi-user network. The software won’t allow you to perform the task further as error codes will block the interface. This error indicates that your connection to the server computer is being blocked.

Reasons
These issues while switching from single to multi-user mode might have occurred due to the following reasons-
The hosting settings of QuickBooks are incorrect, resulting in this issue.
A firewall or antivirus on your computer prevents QuickBooks from connecting to the multi-user network.
The processes of Database Server Manager have stopped in the background, which has caused the development of issues in the multi-user network.

Solutions
The following methods can resolve these issues with the multi-user network-

Solution 1- Run the Database server manager to repair the problems with the multi-user network
The Database Server Manager manages the multi-user network used by QuickBooks. It maintains the smooth flow of data through the network and ensures that the connection is sustained. If any issues develop within the DBSM, they cause the whole network to suffer which can be the case with this error. Follow the steps to repair the issues-
Open the QuickBooks Tool hub and click on Network Issues.
Select the QuickBooks Database Server Manager, and install it if prompted by the software.
Open the Database Server Manager and go to the Scan Folders tab.
Select the company file folder if it is present in the list or locate it using Browse.
After you have selected the folder, click on Start scan.
Let the scan complete, and the firewall settings will also be fixed after the scan.
Click Close.
Repeat these steps for all the systems infected by the error and reopen QuickBooks.
If you still see the error while using the multi-user mode, move to the next method.
