This would let you know how manually you can set up the ports exceptions on the Windows firewall.
After following the sequential steps, access/open the QuickBooks program in multi-user mode again.

You can also temporarily disable the anti-virus/system security application/personal firewall if you encounter any issues or error code or warning message.
Ensure that you re-enable it once you are done with the test.
Verify the UNC vs. Mapped Drive (file path troubleshooting)
Important Note: It is recommended that you perform these highly technical steps under the guidance of a qualified and experienced IT professional. Test the file path to ensure if QuickBooks application commands can reach the server from the workstations.
Be sure about the following arrangement before you start:
Turn On the Network Discovery
Click on the “Control Panel” tab.
Select the “System and Security” tab, and then choose the “Windows Firewall” icon.
In the left section, choose the “Allow an app or feature” icon via Windows Firewall (in the Windows Server 2012).

Important Note: If you notice packet loss or a sluggish reply, it simply implies that your network should be diagnosed by an experienced qualified IT professional.
If you are using the mapped drive to connect with the QB company file on the server, bypass the mapped drive by navigating to the server shared folder via UNC (Universal Naming Convention) path from the workstation computer (ex: \\server\QBData\). If the path to your company file is on your network and begins with a drive letter, it’s a mapped drive.
Utilize the UNC path to spot the QB company file within QuickBooks application. You can also search it at the title bar when clicking the mapped drive, or:
Hold the “Windows + R” key to access/open the run command. Later, type-in the “CMD”, and then hit onto the “Enter” tab.
Enter net use [drive letter:]. For example: net use z:
Tap on the “Enter” tab.
In the “IP configuration” field, search the line “Remote Name” tab.
