Get troubleshooting assistance from QB experts at 1.855.738.2784 to get rid of the error quickly.

Reasons

This error mainly develops when QBDT loses its internet connection in between the payroll updates. The reasons network connectivity issues develop in QuickBooks are discussed below in detail-
  • Your TLS settings are strictly set, prohibiting all Windows applications from accessing the internet.
  • The web browser you use to access the internet is incompatible with QuickBooks and raises issues during payroll updates.
  • Your connection to the Intuit servers repeatedly lapses due to a poor internet speed on your system.

Solutions

This error causes trouble while downloading the payroll updates or performing a task that requires the internet. You can take the help of the following approaches to eliminate this network connectivity error from your QBDT-

Solution 1- Allow Internet access to QBDT by fixing the TLS settings

Transport Layer Security, or TLS, is one of the measures used in Windows to keep your system data safe while an internet connection is established. There are a lot of malware and malicious threats that can enter your system from the internet or damage your data when you transfer it. These settings can block Windows applications from accessing the internet if you don’t configure them properly. It is possible that QuickBooks also fails to keep a stable connection with the internet during the payroll update due to misconfigured TLS settings. You can easily arrange the TLS settings using the steps underneath-
  1. Press Windows+R simultaneously on your PC to go to the Run window.
  2. Erase the auto-filled data and type ‘inetcpl.cpl’ to access the Internet Options window.
  3. Click the Globe icon below the Security tab and ensure the security level is set to medium-high or below.
  4. Navigate to the Connections tab and select LAN settings.
  5. Mark the automatically detect settings checkbox with a single click and ensure the Use a proxy server is unmarked.
  6. Click Ok and go to the Advanced tab.
  7. Tap Restore Advanced settings and click Settings.
  8. Scroll down for TLS settings and make sure the Use TLS 1.2 checkbox is marked.
  9. Tap Ok and close the internet options window.

Solution 2- Fix the Web browser settings in the control panel

Payroll updates might also fail in QBDT if you use an incompatible web browser to integrate with the web services. Use the following steps to set an inbuilt OS browser as the default browser on your Windows-
  1. Open the control panel and click the Apps option in its menu.
  2. Move to the Default Apps option and click the Web Browser option.
  3. Select any from Microsoft Edge or Internet Explorer and save the settings.
