Can't Connect To Remote Server Using SSMSE In Vista
Feb 11, 2007
Hi,
Sorry if this is the wrong forum.
I'm trying to connect to a remote server (on shared hosting) with Management Studio Express. I tried using it on Vista and it connects to the server and database perfectly. However, on Vista it gives the following error everytime:
TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)

However, the host obviously has SQL server to allow remote connections as I'm able to connect from XP.
Both the XP and Vista PCs are running Avast free edition (the same builds) and both are running Windows firewall with management studio allowed through. Can anyone help?
Hello I use SQL 2005 - SQL Server Management Studio to connect to my hosting SQL Server to manage my database , its about 1 month which I have installed Vista and SQL 2005 its working fine in local , but today I just wanted to connect to my remote server and I got this error :
Cannot connect to <My server IP Address>
I thought its a server problem , but its not. I tested it by connecting using same SQL 2005 on a windows xp system , the problem is only in vista, by the way its SQL 2005 SP2
We have a problem to connect to a specific database on our local network from a specific Vista machine. Several other XP and Vista machines are able to connect to the database without any problem. However, with the two latest Vista machines we received, it is impossible to connect to the database. In Microsoft SQL server Management studio express, we have the error 26 "error locating server/instance specified". We are sure the server name we entered is correct. We suppose the server is correctly configured as we are able to connect from other computers. From the machines that are not able to connect to the database, we can connect without problem to other databases. We also see the server, where the database is, on the network servers list in Microsoft SQL server Management studio. . The version of the components are: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express 9.00.3042.00 Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) 6.0.6000.16386 (vista_rtm.061101-2205) Microsoft MSXML 3.0 4.0 6.0 Microsoft Internet Explorer 7.0.6000.16575 Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0.50727.312 Operating System 6.0.6000 We verified we have the same version of components on the Vista machine from which the connection is successful. The network database has the version 8.0. We are usinng sql server authentification method. We try to specify the IP address instead of the server name in the connection string. We also tried to specify the port. We also tried to disable the firewall. Unfortunatetly, we are not able to connect to this database. Any suggestion ?
Hey guys, I am new to the SQL server scene and I am having some trouble connecting to a remote SQL Server with SQL Server Management Studio Express. I have the username, password, IP address, and port necessary to log in but am apparently not plugging them into the correct places. Can anyone at all point me in the right direction or somewhere that I might at least find the answer? I appreciate any help that can be provided.
In order to fix a web application bug the developer told me to to edit a stored procedure on my hosted SQL 2005 server. The hosting company's support say I should be able to do this using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I installed SSMSE, but it seems to want to only want to connect to a local server. Can I use this utility for remote DB management, or is there something else I need instead?
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.)

I've got a database on a shared server at www.dhosting.com
When I fire up management studio express providing the necessary info and hit connect, I get a nice error saying sql server is not able to accept remote connections by default. I ask dhosting support for a few hours. Chris gets back to me every 10 minutes or so. We then finally notice I'm running Vista. I go to my friend's xp. Fire up SSMSE and provide the exact same info and viola, works perfectly.
The xp and Vista machines both are running avast free edition and window firewall. In Vista, I've tried disabling windows firewall, nothing helps. XP handles it perfectly without any problems.
I have SQL server express 2005 installed on my pc as instance SQLEXPRESS.
I have created a Visual Basic applicaion with the following as connection to the SQL server express 2005 running on the same PC: **************************************************************************************************** Dim lconnectionString As String Dim builder As New SqlConnectionStringBuilder Dim cmd As New SqlCommand Dim reader As SqlDataReader Dim parameter As SqlParameter builder("Data Source") = ".SQLEXPRESS" builder("Initial Catalog") = "" builder("AttachDbFilename") = "C:My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Projectsabcabcabc.mdf" builder("Integrated Security") = True builder("User Instance") = True lconnectionString = builder.ConnectionString Dim sqlConnection1 As New SqlConnection(lconnectionString) cmd.CommandText = "SP_add_collection" cmd.CommandType = CommandType.StoredProcedure cmd.Connection = sqlConnection1 sqlConnection1.Open() *******************************************************************************************************************
It seems that i can not connect to the abc.mdf in SSMSE while the VB program is running. (ERROR: Database 'C:My DocumentsVisual Studio 2005Projectsabcabcabc.mdf' cannot be opened due to inaccessible files or insufficient memory or disk space. See the SQL Server errorlog for details. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider) )
If i connect to the abc.mdf first in SSMSE, then run the VB program afterwards, it gives me the error on this line -- sqlConnection1.Open()
I want to be able to access the abc.mdf database with both SSMSE and VB at the same time. Could anyone help me on this ?
In my SQL Server Management Studio Express (SSMSE)=>Object Explorer=>Databases, the "NORTHWND" database was screwed up and is deleted completely. But under the same Object Explorer =>Databases, there is a database "C:SSMSE-BookChapter12WINCH12NORTHWND.MDF". I need to use this "NORTHWND" database in the SqlConnection. How can I specify the "Initial Catalog" (or "database") in the New SqlConnection code statement (in the ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express programming)? Should it be like the following:
Dim sqlConnection As SqlConnection = New SqlConnction("Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS; Initial Catalog=C:SSMSE-BookChapter12WINCH12NORTHWND; Integrated Security=SSPI;") ? Or what is the right code statement for connecting to it?
I have installed SQL Server 2k5 Express on my local machine. I also installed SSMSE on my local machine. When I try to launch SSMSE and connect to the SSExpress I get an error indicating that SSExpress is not configured to accept remote connections. Huh? Everything is local...I'm confused and frustrated. Any help is profusely appreciated.
I am new to SQL server 2005 and Windows Vista. I installed SQL server 2005 and SQL Server 2005 SP2. It seems that I get a "cannot connect to server" problem. I see the "Connect to server" popup window when hit the "Connect Object explorer" under the file menu or "Connect database Engine" under the Object explorer pane. Trying to see a Server name I recognized there was nothing there. Tried "browse for more" but It seems that no servers can be found at all.
I logged into Windows Vista with my account (with administrator rights, but not the Main Administrator account itself). I also tried SQL Server 2005 User Provisioning Tool for Vista, but it cannot find no instances in the "Available Privilegies" window.
I read a lot on forums on the net, but what is the best solution to use for this situation? Maybe I shall log on with the Main Admin Account and install again? Or is there better ways? Please can someone give me the best practices for this topic?
I have a problem that unble to connect the SQL Server2005 on Vista OS. After searching solution around but still not able to find the solution for me problem. The Error was Error 26, provider:SQL network interfaces, error:26 - error locating server/instance specified
Is any1 facing the problem on this? Any solution for this case?
I've installed Windows Vista 64 bit on my pc (I had XP Pro). Also I've installed the management studio of SQL Server 2005 developer edition which I've uses also on my XP machine.
I've a online server at "myserver.myprovider.com". With C:WindowsSystem32cliconfg.exe a made a TCP/IP alias to with the name "MySql". In XP I then can connect in Sql management studio to "MySql" and everyting works perfect (I also use some other programs which needs the cliconfg alias.
After I installed Vista, I take the same steps (I've done this over 30 times, but in XP). When I then want to connect to "MySql" in management studio, I get this error: (translated from dutch) "Cannot connect to MySql. Maybe this error is caused by the fact that the SQL Server don't allow external connections. Error: 53.
I'm running SQL Express on Server 2003 SP1 (workstation - although, I did dcpromo promote and demote prior to installing SQL Express).
I'm trying to connect from SQL Studio Express on Vista.
TCP and Named Pipes are selected in Surface Area Config; sp_config remote, access..., 1 was run (per KB); ports 1433 & 1434 are open (I think 435 also was opened when I ran the KB instructions); Mixed mode is selected, user is set for SQL Auth, password is correct; all permissions are granted.
I found an article online which stated that mixed versions of MDAC can lead to the problem. The server has 2.82.1830 and the client has 6.0.5600.16834. Could this be the problem? If so, how to solve?
Can't connect to local server instance MSSQLSERVER in SQL Server Management Studio (SQL2005 sp2/Vista).
SQL Server Configuration Manager reports SQL Server2005 services: SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) Running. This would indicate the name of the SQL server is "MSSQLSERVER" correct? I chose "default" instance during the install and that is the name it gave itself.
I tried connecting to the server using the following for the Server Name: MSSQLSERVER and .MSSQLSERVER neither works.
The only thing that works for my installation is just plain "." (no quotes) and nothing else. Can this be correct because I can't find any reference to this. Thanks.
I’m going nuts and need some help with my ASP.NET 2.0 application which has trouble talking to a remote SQL Server 2000. First, before I describe my problem let me say that everything works perfectly on my XP development workstation when I point to the local SQL Server database. Screens load fine, saves and edits all work perfectly. Problem is when I connecting to SQL Server on a remote windows 2003 server I get Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. Now, I’ve researched this error and have successfully made the following changes to the remote windows 2003 server where the database resides:1) Added logins for “ASPNET”, “NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE”, and “IIS_WPG”. The reason I added NT AUTHORITY is because we plan on deploying this web site to the same windows 2003 server and I understand that IIS6 (on this server) has ASP.NET running as NT AUTHORITY acct. 2) For all the logins above I’ve added them as users to the database and given dbo role. I still get same login for user null error when attempting to connect from my XP workstation. Can anyone help?
I recently reinstalled SQL Server 2005 on a new computer, and now I can't connect to remote SQL servers for some reason. When trying to access the remote server with SQL Management Studio or DTS I get the following error: -----------An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53) For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=53&LinkId=20476----------- I'm certain the servers I'm trying to connect to allow remote connections so the fault must be on my side. Does anyone have any idea what the cause and solution might be?

Hi, I have Windows XP Pro OS with SP2 and SQL Server 2005 installed. I want to give Windows Authentication to my colleague sitting next to me, we are into same LAN.

I have created my sql database script using SQL data publishing wizard, now i want to execute the same on my shared hosting database. But i am not getting any option to connect to remote server in SSMSE.
I have developed web based application with back hand as SQL Server 2005, so now i want to execute my script file onto the server. so how i will connect with my server using SSMSE ?
My application is located under www.briskonsales.com/sales
I am unable to connect to a remote instance of SQL Server to which I have full permissions. Names Pipes are enabled and started. All services appear to be running. The server uses windows authentication and has the domain admin account referenced.
The follwoing is the response on attempting to connect:
An error has occurred while establishing an error to the server. "....this failure may be caused by the fact that under default settings of SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes provider: error 40. could not open a connection to SQL Server IMS SQL Server error 53)"
I wnat to connect to remote sql server 2005, I do the following steps:
Enable remote connections on the instance of SQL Server that you want to connect to from a remote computer. Turn on the SQL Server Browser service. Configure the firewall to allow network traffic that is related to SQL Server and to the SQL Server Browser service. sp_addlogin 'Wind','ack@123','db'
but still can't login,tips as follwing:
Login failed for user 'Wind',The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. Error:18452
Why? Must use "SQL Server Authentication" connect?
I have 2 Window 2000 servers. A server is a Web server (IIS 5.0). B server is a MS SQL 2000 database server.
I use the following connection string to connect successfully the B DB server from the A server. .... cnstr = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Persist Security Info=False;UID=xxxx;PWD=xxxx;Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;Initial Catalog=DDDDD;" Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") conn.Open cnstr ......
But, I change the connection string to the following (it just only be added "Network=DBMSSOCN;", it is connecting with TCP/IP). It is failed ! .... cnstr = "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Persist Security Info=False;UID=xxxx;PWD=xxxx;Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx;Initial Catalog=DDDDD;Network=DBMSSOCN;" Set conn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") conn.Open cnstr ......
The error message is : Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005' [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).] General network error.Check your network document /TCPIP_Test.asp, line 14
Then, I use the same connection string (TCP/IP) to connect successfully the B DB server from an other C web server.
Other test on the A server : 1. ping -a <B server> : test OK ! 2. telnet <B server> 1433 : test OK ! 3. osql -U<xxxx> -S<B server> : test OK ! 4. run VB6 apps with the TCP connection string : test OK !
This is the error: "Unable to open database. Data source name not found and no default driver specified". But there's a catch! Read on...
Our application was written using MFC (ODBC CDatabase class) and the Open function takes a connection string like this:
"Driver={SQL Native Client};Server=%s\INSTANCE;Database=dbname;Uid=loginname;Pwd=password" The %s in the connection string is either set to "localhost" or in the case of a client/server setup, the user chooses a host from a list the first time they run the application, so it becomes "SOMECOMPUTERNAME".
Here's the catch: the application can connect to the remote server if SQL Server is installed on the client machine. When we install our application on a clean, freshly installed XP machine, we get the error.
However the ODBC Data Source Administration tool recognizes SQL Server and I can successfully create a DSN to our remote SQL Server using it.
What does installing SQL Server do to allow the connection string to work and what do I need to do to NOT install SQL Server on our client machines?
I have a SQL Server 2005 instance which resides on a dedicated server hosted by a third party. I am able to connect to this server through my local SQL Management Studio, however, my local ASP.NET 2.0 web application cannot connect. I get the error below. The connection string I use is formatted as... Connection String: Server=thesever;uid=myuserid;pwd=mypassword;database=mydatabase Error: Failed to connect to database: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) The hosting providr claims that the SQL Server configuration settings are as they should be as fars as TCP/IP and Named Pipes are concerned. Does anyone know what might be going on?
Hi all, I am using SQL 2005 Express to store my databae on a remote server, I already set remote connections to Local and remote connections (Use TCP/IP only) and also allow it to listen all the ports. Also I disabled my firewall. Then In my web.config file I add the conncting string like below
<add name="ConnString" connectionString=" Server=123.xxx.xxx.xxxDEV11SQLEXPRESS; Database=xxx; User ID=tester; Password=test; Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> Then I got the following error
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
My VS 2005 website project was connecting to a remote SQL Server. But after I move the database to the second SQL Server, I got the following error message from running my website project:
Named Pipes Provider: Logon failure: unknown user name or bad password.
I do everything same like what I did in the first SQL server:
Using “SQL Server and Windows� authentication and “System account�; Create a domain account IIS_WPG; Grant this IIS_WPG as db_owner for the database; In web.config, add the name and password to the end of connectionstring; Make sure the SQL Server has “Named Pipes� and “TCP/IP� protocols.
I have no idea what I can do else, anybody has suggestions?
