The company file may be blocked by the QuickBooks firewall in its settings. Thus preventing incoming or outgoing communication. 

If the software is unable to reach the main IP address of the host system or the server hosting the company file.

When some of its internal services like QBCF or QuickBooksDBXX arent running on the server system. 

When the DNS setting is incomplete or improper.
