Connect To SQL Server On A Machine On Another Network?
Nov 12, 2006
Hi,
I am hoping you will be of assistance to me and provide a little advice on what exactly is possible using SQL Express / SQL Server 2005 with regards to remotely connecting to a server.
I am a final year undergraduate student studying computing sciences in the UK. As a final year project I am attempting to create a client-server database, where the client (a WM5 PDA) can connect to an SQL server hosted on a different machine (a PC). However, I must be able to connect to the server when the PDA is being used on any Wi-Fi connection.
Basically I want the PDA to be able to connect to a database kept on the PC at home when you're out and about using the PDA's wi-fi.
Is this possible? If so, could you explain in 'dummy' terminology how one would go about this?
As my university is part of the MS Academic Alliance I have access to VS 2005 and SQL Server 2005 for this project.
Many thanks for your time and I eagerly await your responses!
Simon

Hello, I know this has been covered many times but I just can't get an answer that applies to my situation. - SQL Server is on different machine.- I need to connect to SQL Server with SQL authentication. (Not a Windows account)- I CAN connect through Server Explorer as the user specified by the database administrator. - I CAN run stored procedures through the Query Analyzer as the user specified by the database administrator. - I CANNOT connect by the browsing ASP.NET applicationI have tried the connection string in the Web.Config and at the page level but keep getting messages such as Login failed for user 'User' or sometimes "Not associated with a trusted Connection"In Web.Config I have:<authentication mode="None" />
On the page I have:Dim strConn As String = "database=servername;initial catalog=databasename;user id=User;password=password"Dim conn As New SqlConnection(strConn)conn.Open()I always get an error at conn.Open()I have spent too many hours playing around with this - any suggestions?? Please!!By telling it to connect as User the ASPNET account does not have to be created in SQL Server correct?Thanks for any help!!

With SQL Server 7, I could connect to a "local" server
driver={SQL Server};server={Local};uid=sa;pwd=password;
with SQL Server 2K it seems to need the computer name
driver={SQL Server};server=MachineNameInstanceName;uid=sa;pwd =password;
How can I replace "MachineNameInstanceName" by "{Local}"

Hi All,I have been struggling with this problem for quite some time. Basicallyi have an asp page (on the ISP server) that I want to connect to a sqlserver on another machine (on my server) and I have been trying tofigure out how to do this. I tried to connect using an ip address inthe data source and it did not work. The asp.net code looks somethinglike this:Conn.Open ("Provider=SQLOLEDB;Password=xxxx;Persist SecurityInfo=True;User ID=xxxx;Initial Catalog=mssqlxxx;DataSource=xx.xxx.xxx.xxx,1433;Network Library=dbmssocn")That did not work. Gave me an access denied or sql server does notexist error. I tried playing around with or without the 1433 port,still no luck.Is there something I need to set up on sql server in order for me toconnect to this?? Can someone give me some suggestion how i can connectto another computer?My ISP offers sql server support and they give me an ip address toconnect directly to the sql server, code looks something like this:conMyData = New SqlConnection( "Server=xxxxxxxxx.registeredsite.com;UID=userxxxxxx; PWD=xxxxxx;Database=samplecom" )now, my question is, how do I set up my sql server to have an ipaddress so i can connect??so i see 2 possible w ays to do this but i have no clue to make thiswork. Any help is appreciated.

Hi Friends
I
have a sql server (2005 standard edition) on Win xp machine. i can
connect to this server from my machine ok but others on the network try
to connect i get following error
"An error has occurred during report processing.
Cannot create a connection to data source 'dataSource1'.
A
connection was successfully established with the server, but then an
error occurred during the pre-login handshake. 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: 0 - No process is on the other
end of the pipe.) "
but my remote connection allows remote
connects. i also enabled "Named pipes" and "VIA" protocols under sql
configuration manager but no avail.
any ideas on this one.
Thanks for your help.
Cheers

Hi,
I am trying to connect to a SQL server on a deferent machine using ASP.Net written in C#. The machine on which the SQL server reside dose not have the ASPNET user and the authentication is falling. Any ideas on how to connect using a different User. I changed the ASP.Net service on my machine to run as a deferent user MyUser, which is a domain user that have access to the server machine?
Note: We can not change the privileges on the server side.
Thanks.RH

Is there a limitation in sql server 2005 express that it does not accept connections via the network? I am trying to develop a web application running the web server as a VM but I can't connect to the sql server on the host machine. Similarly, I can't create an ODBC connection on the VM, but I can on the host. I could install sql express on the VM, that is probably the next thing I'll try.

I know there have been many posts made on this subject; however, despite the resources available, I have not been able to get this to work! I've spent time working on this here and there over the last couple of months only resulting in frustration. I am finally posting to solicit help for my situation to figure out what is wrong with my SQL Server or firewall configuration.
Two machines connected to a router, one wireless, one wired. Both have SQL Server Express and the Management Studio tools installed. From either machine I can connect to its local SQL Server Express instance.
I have enabled Shared Memory, Named Pipes, TCP/IP, and VIA in the SQL Server Configuration Manager. (BTW what is VIA?)
I have added sqlsrvr.exe and sqlbrowser.exe to my Windows Firewall exceptions. I have tried disabling Windows Firewall. One of the machines is configured as DMZ in the router configuration.
Please, someone offer up some brilliant diagnostic steps I am missing to expose what is wrong in my setup and make this work... Thank you!

I changed the login password on my computer today, and now I cannot connect to the SQL Server instance I have on that same machine. I am using Windows Authentication. I would think that, if I can log on to my computer, I would be able to connect to the database, since I have been "authenticated" by windows but, that does not appear to be the case. Can anyone offer any advice? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I'm green on this networking stuff so any help is greatly appreciated.
I have setup my home computer as a server and assigned a static IP to it. I installed SQL Server 2005 Developer and allowed remote connections to it through the Surface Area Config tool, added port 1433 TCP and 1434 UDP to firewall's exception list, and started the SQL Server Browser service.
Now I can't seem to remote connect to this SQL Server from my office network. Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
Thanks!!

Two node AO cluster setup.
I found errors frequently in cluster events at logs as below
"Cluster network interface 'Node1 - 10.X.XXX.1' for cluster node 'Node1' on network 'Cluster Network 1' failed. Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapter. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges."
How to fix this issues? is it missing any patch OS or cluster side?

Hi!
I wrote an application which connects to a SQL Server / MSDE 2000 DB through ADO components. Now the application doesn't start if I don't have an active network connection; as far as I try to connect, the error I get is:
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).].........
Everything is ok if I simply plug the network cable and let the PC connect to the TCP/IP network.
Hope someone can help me!
Thanks

I have notebook, client server application and sql express sp2 on this notebook.
Also, I know domain user login/password,
but I don't know any local user name/password
and I don't know any sql server user name/password.
Domain user is not a local administrator on this notebook.
When notebook connected to the office LAN I am working good with my app-> my sql express as a domain/user.
I'd like to work at home too. I can logon to the system (XP SP2) using domain account when notebook has no network connection. (probably OS caches something)
Is it possible to work with sql express using domain login when no network connection?
PS. old version of this software used MSDE 2000 and it was possible(!).
Thank you.

I am able to connect to reportserver from within the network. However I am unable to connect to reportserver from outside of network.
I am using the syntax http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:1433/reportserver where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx denotes the ip adress and the 1433 denotes the port
Reportserver is on a windows 2003 small business server. I added exceptions to my firewalll and checked all permissions to the physical directories. I am sure it is a simple issue but cannot figure it out.
Any help would be appreciated.

hello,
Sql server type: database engine
server name:

login: sa

I remember the server name being sqlexpress (I think that was the default name during the install).
OR are they asking for my computer name? because I tried that also and it gave me an error saying "the default installation doesn't allow remote connections"
