I am trying to connect to SQL Server Express 2005 from a remote connection through the internet using an IP address in a string like this;
Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=myDataBase;User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;
the error I am getting is this
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - The specified network name is no longer available.)
anyone have any suggestions or maybe another way to achieve this type of connection?
I have noticed in the database logs that someone is trying to log into our SQL Server express databases, is there a way of allowing only IP address on a list to access the database. We really only need the local machine and the office using SQL Express management studio to access the database.
I would appreciate any help sometimes the database runs very slow and we do not know what is causing this.
We are running server 2003 and SQL Server express.
I'M HAVING AN ISSUE, UNDERSTANDING, THE CONNECTION STRING. I WANT TO CONNECT TO AN INSTANCE OF SQLEXPRESS ON A REMOTE SERVER WITH A FIXED IP ADDRESS THE TCP PORT IS OPEN TO 1433 I OPENED THE PORT ON THE ROUTER AND THE WINDOWS 2003 FIREWALL
MY CODE IS AS FOLLOWS: S = "Provider=SQLNCLI;" S = S & "DATA SOURCE=44.66.777.888,1433SQLEXPRESS;" S = S & "INITIAL CATALOG=TESTDB;" S = S & "Persist Security Info=false;" S = S & "UID=TEST999;" S = S & "Pwd="TEST999888;" CnMgt.ConnectionString = S CnMgt.Open S
I'VE FOLLOWED THE STEPS OUTLINED IN ARTICLE 914277
CAN SOMEONE HELP? THANK YOU
PS. IF THE CLIENT IS LOCAL, I HAVE NO ISSUE OPENING THE DATABASE. I DO NEED TO OPEN THE DB FROM FROM CLIENTS.
I'm having a problem connecting with a Java application but I CAN connect using my .Net application - the user name and password are the same for both (using the same database on SQL Server Express 2005).
The error I get is: "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerException: Cannot open database "CORNERS" requested by the login. The login failed." An interesing note - I get the same message if the database is not running.
SQL Server Express 2005 is installed in mixed mode.
Here is my connection string in the .Net appplication: <add key="connectString" value="Server=(local);UID=sa;PWD=myPasswd;Database=CORNERS" />.
Everything was working fine. I have been able to connect using windows authentication. Then, I went into the ODBC manager to add a data source and it failed to connect so I went back into the Server management studio to modify users. After doing this I now get an error when I try to conenct the management studio to the SQL server.
I wasn't modifying the login for my windows account that I normally use, I was modifying a different one, however I now get the message "An error has occured while establishing a connection to the SQL server. This kind of problem can ocure because the default behavior of the server does not support all connection methods" blah blah.
Does anyone know how I can attach to the server? Or, do I need to somehow remove the server and create a new one? How would I do that?
I've seen the following error posted when people try to connect to their server via their applications but didn't see anyone having problems when trying to connect with SQL Server Management Studio Express. Am I missing something here? This is the 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: 2)>>The server is not remote so I don't see why I need to enable remote connection. I am also using the default connection settings.
On my home machine without permanent network connections enabled, I cannot get the Management Studio connect to the database server. Always get this error:
Cannot connect ot MPLIAMSQLEXPRESS
Additional Information:
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.

I have used the SQL Surface Area Configuration Tool to reset the defaults to allow remote connections, stopped and restarted the server, but still get the same message.
Hey all! I am new in this form and also new with the SQL serve. I have installed that free express edition of SQL server 2005 and when i am trying to connect to server from my C#.net application i am not able to do it and when i am trying to degug it gives me the error that is the user is not SQL thrusted user. I am able to connect directly thru SQL server using this userid and password but not thru VWD 2005 Express application.
I have read online that so many people are having that problem. so is it the problem of swl server Express edition or do i have to make some setting to connect to the application.
Please please please please someone guide me . I am stuck here in the beginning only. I would really appreciate it.
the code that i wrote is here:----
using System.Data.SqlClient;
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
I'm trying to connect to the northwind database thats available online using c# and SQL 2005, both express editions. i used the following command
sqlcmd -S yourServerSQLExpress -E -iinstnwnd.sql
and it connects to the northwind database. but when it comes to the part where i have to select the data source, there are only 2 available - microsoft access database file, microsoft SQL server database file. but according to the microsoft books that i'm following, there should also be a "micosoft SQL server" in the data source list. because of this i cant connect to the database.
Hi, I have VS Pro 2005 and SQL Server Express 2005 installed on an XP Pro machine. When using VS 2005, in the 'Server Explorer' window I can see and attach to two SQL Server databases that I have set-up. But if I attempt to access the same databases from withn the 'Solution Explorer' window I get the following dialog box message,
" Required Component Missing (Dialog box heading)
Connections to SQL Server Files (*.mdf) require SQL Server Express to function properly. Please verify the installation of the component or download from the URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=49251 "
I have uninstalled and then reinstalled both VS 2005 and SQL Server Express twice but it has helped.
I don't understand why I'm getting this error because all of the server configuration tools and connection utilities seem to work fine but VS say's that SQL Server Express is not installed.
Thanks,
CLN
P.S. I had another application that required MSDE 2000A to be installed. When I removed the other application I also removed MSDE 2000A and that's when the problem began.
I'm using SQL Manager from my Enterprise server to connect to my SQL Express server that will act as a witness to a db mirroring system. If I try to connect to the SQL Express server using its IP address, I get a "named pipes error 53." If I connect by browsing the network and connect to the Name of the Server "MachinenameSQLExpress", I am successful. I would like to be able to connect to the IP directly as it's not dependant upon certain services to be started or configured a certain way.
I've used Sql Server 2000 and Visual Studio 2003 for a few years. I've started a new position and they have access to Sql Server 2005 Standard and Visual Basic 2005 Express which I'd like to use for a new project. So I installed Sql Server 2005 and then VB 2005 Express on my workstation. I didn't choose the Sql Server option for VB Express because I already had Sql Server 2005 Standard installed with a simple database created. I created a simple vb project that justs connects to the database but I get the following error.
Request for the permission of type 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, Version=2.0000, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed. I looked at permissions in the database and it looks ok. I'm the db owner and I'm using Windows Auth. My connection string is
I thought I'd look at the starter kit to get some ideas about what the problem is, but when I started the movie starter kit project, it was upset that I didn't have Sql Server 2005 EXPRESS installed. Yea, but I do have Sql Server 2005 Standard installed. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
I have inherited two separate SQL clusters. One cluster instance is called DESQLSC1INST1 and the other is MKSQLSC1INST1.
On MKSQLSC1INST1 I can connect by using MKSQLSC1INST1, MKSQLSC1 and the IP address that the cluster is running on. On DESQLSC1INST1 I can only connect using DESQLSC1INST1.
I have checked configuration manager but it does not show me how this is set up.
I can connect to this instance using both oSQL or sqlcmd and can select from the tables within BlueTarp, but my web app won't connect, and I can't figure out why!!
When I installed SQL Express, I used a named instance, called "SQLExpress".
I'm using mixed mode authentication.
One strange thing is that I can connect to either SQLExpress or MSSQLSERVER instances, but they appear to be the same instance -- I can use bluetarp in both.
when I use SQLExpress for instance name in web.config I get "SQL Server does not exist or access denied"
when I use MSSQLServer for instance name in web.config I get "Invalid connection"
And in fiddling with the web.config, I somehow did something to get a machine.config error, something like "machine.config couldn't be loaded because of an unloaded appdomain".
It's driving me nuts because I've spent a good 40 hours on this stupid problem, throwing the whole margin down the toilet.
Hi all, I'm new to this forum and haven't worked with SQL Server for a couple of years. Now it seems I'm getting back into it. I have SQL Express and SQL 2005 installed on an XP sp2 machine with IIS 5.1. I have a C#/ASP.NET web app in Visual Studio 2005 that keeps getting an error on attempting to connect (SqlConnection object). It's a generic error saying a probable cause is SQL Express default setup not allowing remote connections. Remote connections are turned on for both TCP and UDP. I can connect from within a small C# windows application using the same uid and pwd, so I suspect it's something related to IIS talking to SQLExpress. I would appreciate any help on other things to check. I am also fairly new to using IIS in the development environment. Thanks
I have an very big application written in vb6 running on msde 2000. I tried to change it to sql express 2005 and I cannot connect to the database. I wrote a sample app in vb6 using adodc and it works fine. From the other app I get no connection. I copied the same connection string!. I do not use the adodc control.I connect with a connection object.I have enabled pipes and tcp/ip. Any ideas or suggestions more than welcome.
I've installed, with default settings, VS 2005 and Server 2005 Express and cannot get VS2005 to connect. This is the error:

I shutdown Server 2005 but that didn't change anything. Any ideas?
I have installed MS Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition on my Notebook (WinXP Pro SP2). And it's working fine. Then I tried installed SQL Server 2005 Express Edition SP1. There is no error during installation and it seems to be working as I can see the SQL Server (MSSQLServer) service is running. As SQL server configulation manager., the protocal shared memory , named Pipes and TCP/IP are enabled.
But when I want to add connection using VWD 2005 by pointing to datasource (MS SQL Server database file and selecing file from .mdf file from SQL sample database file. Then test connection, I got a error that "An error has occurred while establishing a conneciton to the server. when connecting to SQL server 2005, this failure may be casued the the fact that under the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Interfaces, error: 26- Error locating server/instance specified)
Can you please advise what the missing part of my configulation ?
I wasn't able to connect to my SQL server 2000 database (which reside in the network in a windows 2003 server) after the IP address of the server has changed and the server is shut down, moved and re-started.
I was able to connect to this server by using ADO using VB. I was able to register this server in my EM and was able to create ODBC connection. Just when using ADO.NET, I wasn't able to connect. Any ideas? Will there be any caching within ADO.NET still pointing to the old IP address?
Hi, I am connecting from clientside with sql server 2005 installed trying to connect to a database running on a server with sql server 2000 installed. this is not a 2000 to 2005 compatibility issue. I can connect locally fine to the server and log in using the sa account, however for BDE admin i HAVE to use the server name instead of ip address. If i try to use the ip address of the server, the connection dosnt get established. *this is all happening localy on our own network.
How to I use ip address to connect instead of the server name? I will need to connect remotely outside of our network later on, and i dont think I can use the servername. Does anyone have a solution? thanks.
I'm new to using sql express 2005 as the database, so I apologize if my question is very basic.
I can connect to db through sql mngmt studio, but I don't know how to connect through application code. The authentication mode is windows. I'm having trouble with the provider in the application code.
Can someone please tell me where I can find more detailed information on available providers for sql express?
Thanks for any help, as I'm against a tight deadline.

I ran the upsize wizard on one of my databases to SQL Server 2005 Express. I can connect to it just fine. I have 3 test users and they cannot. They get the following:
Connection failed:
SQL State: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 11004

Connection failed:

SQL Server Error: 6

I tried adding the SQL Server to 1 users System DSN, but I got this message:

I'm trying to upsize an Access database to SQL 2005 Express. When I follow the wizard and I've tried all ways of connecting to the database I get the following error
Connection failed SQL State '01000' SQL Server Error 53 [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB] ConnectionOpen()). Connection failed SQL State '08001' SQL Server Error 17 [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB] SQL Server does not exist or access denied
I've tried using local host and typing the exact server connection string from the SQL Express Management tool and nothing is working
How come I can't do this? Everyone says this is easy and straight forward -- not for me.
In Visual C# Express, I right click on my solution and select Add, new item, and then choose an SQL database. I get the error:

I completely uninstalled all of the beta Express products I had and reinstalled SQL Server 2005 Express first, which seems to have installed ok. Then I reinstalled Visual C# Express, but still have the same problem.
This is happening on my home pc running Windows XP Home sp2. I successfully got sql working with VC# Express at work on my WinXP Pro system.
All, I'm a newbie here so forgive me if I have missed something completely obvious. I have bought a shopping cart script of a well known company (Evolve Merchant 5) and I wish to set it up locally on my development server, I created a virtual directory, set the web application up and get the asp pages to display perfectly. However, in the configuration file (global.asa & web.config) for the application it reguests information to be provided: <add key="DBName" value="Database name" /> <add key="DBServer" value="IP address of server" /> <add key="DBUserName" value="User name" /> <add key="DBPassword" value="password" /> <add key="AltPassword" value="password" />
What I can't determine is what the SQL Server 2005's IP address is? the pages of this application show when I type http://localhost/catalogue into IE, so I presumed the server address would be the IP of localhost, when typed ping localhost into command promt it gives me 127.0.0.1, but when I enter this into the config file and try to load the application it just hangs and then eventually says: "Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied./catalogue/global.asa, line 54" I have created a new database in SQL Express called: merchant509 and restored the tables to it as the manufactures help files state, I created a new login called shop which uses SQl authentication, so as I can provide a password. So the settings should look like this: <add key="DBName" value="Database name" /> <add key="DBServer" value="127.0.0.1" /> <add key="DBUserName" value="shop" /> <add key="DBPassword" value="1684" /> <add key="AltPassword" value="1684" />
But it doesn't work, does anyone know what i have done wrong?? the SQL server is runnign on the same computer as I am trying to access it from, it is set to accept all forms of comunication i.e. TCP/IP etc.. in the server configuration manager the IP address part of TCP/IP in protocols shows IP1 as 192.168.2.2 active yes enabled yes, and IP2 as 127.0.0.1 active yes and enables yes, I have tried the 192.168.2.2 and this gives the same errors, this is my registed IP on my home network. I'm now stumped, I haven't a clue what else I can try, I would be very greatfull if anyone has any ideas. Regards, Daniel Coates
I've never used SQL Server before. I installed VB 2005 Express (I've been working with VB since I was 16), and SQL Server 2005 Express.
I installed the server with all the default settings and created a small database to handle customer information (a remake of some Access and Oracle databases I've made before).
I'm told, however, each time I try to connect to the database via VB, that SQL Server isn't accepting remote connections...
Remote? It's on a local computer. So is VB...what is going on here? Is there a setting I've missed?
i have installed MS SQL Server Express 2005 on my local machine. Also the managment Studio. I can connect to the MS SQL Server Express 2005 with my c# programm and with the mangament studio.
I have in Windows/system32 the file ntwdblib.dll version 2000.80.2039.0. The TCP/IP and Ip Protocl are active. But i cant connect with php to the local MS SQL Server Express 2005.
My php code is:
mssql_connect('192.168.0.2,1433', 'martin', '');
I get the return code Warning: mssql_connect() [function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: 192.168.0.2,1433 in c:InetpubwwwrootProjekteSkriptemssql_connection.php on line 2
Does anyone know what i made wrong or i have forgotten?
I am trying to do the Chapter 1 project of Getting Started with ADO.net 2.0 Step by Step (microsoft press)...
I enter the data source configuration wizard and select database, and press next.
I then press the new connection button, and the Choose data source screen appears.
In the List are only 2 options:
Microsoft Access Database File
Microsoft SQL Server Database File.
The option they want me to choose does not appear in the list.
Microsoft SQL Server sqlclient
I tried following the instructions in this thread [http://forums.microsoft.com/msdn/showpost.aspx?postid=85686&siteid=1] where a user had a similar problem, but had no success.
I have reinstalled C#, reinstalled SQL Server Express 2005 with Advanced Tools, but neither helped.
