The "QuickBooks cannot communicate with the company file" issue usually occurs due to network connectivity problems, incorrect hosting settings, or firewall restrictions. Here’s how to fix it:

1. Run QuickBooks Database Server Manager
   • Open the QuickBooks Tool Hub and go to Network Issues.
   • Run QuickBooks Database Server Manager and scan the company file folder.
   • Restart QuickBooks and check if the issue is resolved.
2. Verify Hosting Settings
   • Open QuickBooks on the server computer.
   • Click File > Utilities and ensure Host Multi-User Access is enabled.
   • If you see Stop Hosting Multi-User Access, it means hosting is already enabled.
3. Check Firewall and Antivirus Settings
   • Ensure QuickBooks files (QBDBMgrN.exe, QBW32.exe) have exceptions in your firewall.
   • Temporarily disable your antivirus and check if QuickBooks connects.
4. Ensure QuickBooks Services are Running
   • Press Windows + R, type services.msc, and press Enter.
