problem setting data source power bi services

Good morning how are you?
I am having trouble being able to link a data source through a gateway to be able to do automated data updates, I have installed a standard gateway and when creating it in the power bi service it gives me an error, the source is DBF files in my local repository, the server where I have all the databases in DBF. Any kind of help would be highly appreciated, as there is very little power bi and DBF information on the web.

Thank you very much,
Regards.

Did the connection work before?  Error messages like this one usually mean that the credentials have expired.

Good day, if in other reports, not this one in particular where I have data sources in DBF and Excel, that's why I'm trying to see what the problem would be, I'm putting domain administrator username and password to verify that. What else could it be?
