Hi again... I guess this is yet another newbie question (Sorry if its been asked before!)
If I have an IP address for an external SQL DB with valid User & Pass... Can I connect to it using SQLExpress on my machine??
If so can anyone point me towards how to do it, or run through it below (In easy steps as I'm dumb )
have setup SQL 6.5 on a machine. I have verified that port 1433 is opened for SQL. I am also using a router dell 2300. I am running Windows XP.
I have set up my machine to port forward and have setup a static ip 192.168.2.136 nothing I do seems to work.
I can connect to the server by name
ex:
MyStr = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=MYSQLPC,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=master;User ID=myusername;Password=password;"
Conn.open MyStr
I can also connect using internal IP address
ex:
MyStr = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=192.168.2.136,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=master;User ID=username;Password=password;"
Conn.open MyStr
but when I try to connect to the external IP 12.xxx.xxx.xxx
I get the dreaded sql does not exist error.
I can register the server by external ip. When I try to start the server I get an (RPC server unavailable) error.
I can ping the external ip.
I can telnet 192.168.2.136 1433 without error
I can connect though security manager using 12.xxx.xx.xx
I can't telnet 12.xxx.xx.xx.
I think its router but I do not know what I'm missing. I have static ip 192.68.136 set up.
Router Port Forward Settings
Service Enabled In Port Dest Addy Dest Port Type
MSSQLSER Y 1433-1434 192.168.2.136 1433-1433 TCP
MSSQLSER Y 1434-1434 192.168.2.136 1434-1434 UDP
I have also read that some ISP's block port 1433 due to the worm problem. So I changed the listining port from 1433 to 1971. I am still able to connect using this new port with local ip or local name. I still cannot connect to external IP. (I did change router setting to reflect new port forward to 1971)
I am not sure what I missing.
Thanks in advance for any help

Hi all... Very much a newbie here to setting up SQL server, and am pulling my hair out over a problem...
I have a VPS running Win2003 64bit and have setup my ASP forum on it (I also have SQLExpress 2005 installed on the VPS) - I have a SQL DataBase running on an external server which my old host setup for me and the old forum has been using... Now all I want to do is for my ASP forum on my server to connect to this external SQL DB... How easy!? Well not for me ..
This is the error
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied
I know its my VPS causing the problem, as I asked a friend to see if he could connect to it via his server and the forum worked straight off no changes...
After some investigating I have found a few threads about advice but still cannot get it to connect to the external SQL DB (BTW I can connect to a SQL DB on my server its just externally)... This is what I have done / Checked so far..
1. I have changed the connection string to include the port number 1433
(Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=THEIPADDRESS,1433;Initial Catalog=DB;User ID=xxxxx;Password=xxxx;)
2. I can ping the IP address of the external SQL Server with no problems
3. On my server I have enabled TCP/IP in SQLExpress & added sqlservr.exe as an exception in the Firewall
4. I have even tried turning the Firewall off completely while I tried to connect - But still nothing.
If anyone can help me I would be very appreciated.... I am starting to tear my hair out as I can't think what else I need to do???
Thanks
Hi all,I am having real problems allowing a client to connect to sql 2000through enterprise manager.. I have tried all sorts but to no avail:From our local network all works fine.. Using the adsl line.. Even ifi try and connect to the external IP and use login details..(Asopposed to connecting local and using windows accounts) I can ping andtelnet the server and port.The server is behind a firewall so i opened up port 1433 and port1434(? is it needed).. To replicate the client i took the same laptophome that i use to connect in the office.. However using the exactsame config on my dial up at home i can ping the server but cannottelnet onto port 1433.. I think that this is the vital missing stepbut do not know hpw to resolve it..Any ideas anyoneCheersAnt

If the error sounds a bit weird, sry I tried to translate as most of my errors come in my language
someone knows what the problem is and a solution to it?
(btw sry if this is in the wrong part of the sql forum, but there are so much parts, I didn't know which to choose lol )

I have finish building my ASP.NET site using VS 2005 and it compile just fine. Than I try hosting it to the web via IIS v5.1 and I am getting permission error from SQL express.
I have posted a detail question in experts-exchange.com and since you need a user account to even view the thread, I have taken the liberty to save the thread as .html file and host it to my ISP site. You can see the detail problem I am having here: http://users.accesscomm.ca/mm/EEdetail.html
I am going to list out some stuff I have done:
1. I have two database that need access, the ASPNETDB.mdf for user login and another database (PhotoDataBase.mdf) to store information relating to the photo I uploaded to my ASP.NET site.
2. I have already follow this How to site: http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx and setup:
- TCP/IP enable, as shown here:
- I have started SQL Browser service
- The firewall part I am not so sure about. I am currently using Zonealarm....
3. I have installed SQL Server Management Studio Express(SSMSE) and attach the two database to it.
4. I have set SSMSE server properties to accept both SQL and window authentication.
5. I have made sure that both database "read only" setting to false
6. I have setup SQL login with User ID = SQLLOGIN

and here is the new connection I just type in web.config that replace the original one:

I didn't have such a problem before. If someone could help to solve to this problem, I appreciate it. Thanks.
whenever i try and choose the database i wish to work with like below. I end up with an error message about the user not being associated with a trusted sql server connection
cnStr = @"Data Source=serverSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=sqldata;User ID=blahme";
same with this one
cnStr = @"Data Source=STOCKYARDSQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=DB;Trusted_Connection=Yes;";
i figured this was all permission based so i kept dorking around with security adding my user name to anything i could find, and also went through and dozen or so connection strings and found when i take out the DB name that i can open a connection.... as the code below works...
cnStr = @"Data Source=ServerSQLEXPRESS;Trusted_Connection=Yes;";
cn.Open();
I plan on importing another database so how will i later on choose between the two, i notice i can create logins only at the security for the sqlexpress and not for my database? did i mess up how i created the database?
i have added my username and given permissions to the security for the database i wish to connect to, but is there another step im missing? i would keep trucking but i would like to have multiple DB on the sql express and pick and choose at the code level, maybe im misunderstanding what the catalog should include or i can change the connections database at another point?
I am trying to use built-in login authentication using SQLExpress (SQLMembershipProvider Class). I have run the utility "aspnet_regsql" both with and without the following switches "-E -A m". Either way it fails to connect and tells me I may need to enable remote connections. I have done that and set it to use both TCP/IP and pipes, even though the connection is local. I still get the same error message. If I open up SQL Server Manager, I can see that there is a user account set up for ASPNET.

I am trying to set-up membership options on my MS Server 2003.
I also have a Computer running MS XP Professional sp2.
With the Advanced in stall of SQLExpress - trying to establish cojnectivity on the server fails when using the ASP.NET Configuration button.
This works fine on the XP box.
On the security tab the following message apppears:
There is a problem with your selected data store. This can be caused by an invalid server name or credentials, or by insufficient permission. It can also be caused by the role manager feature not being enabled. Click the button below to be redirected to a page where you can choose a new data store.
The following message may help in diagnosing the problem: Unable to connect to SQL Server database.
I've compared all settings in ssemee, surface manager etc. - all identical.
run aspnet_regsql on both machines. Added the SERVERASPNET account to SQLExpress and to the aspnetdb database.
I've enabled TCP,remote connections, named pipes etc. to no avail.
Any suggestion as to what the error could be would be most appreciated - been trying now for 3 days to get this working without any success.

string sqlstr = "Server=(local);Database=MyDB;User ID=sa;Password=sa;Trusted_Connection=False";
And it gives me the following error. The string works fine in computer with SQL Server 2000 instance but fails with 2005. The string also fails for "Server = localhost".
However the string works very fine if I use the name of Server 2005 i.e ./SQLExpress

Now the main problem is that, of course I could use a named instance, but since I am embedding the Connection String in a dll file so that any user can use it to connect it to the local instance of the SQL Server 2005 installed in his/her computer, I need to use "server = localhost". Doesn't SQL 2005 support this. If yes, where could i find option to enable it?
I have enabled every option available in surface area configuration for SQL Server 2005, but nothing seems to help out. I even use local as well as remote connections using both TCP/IP and named pipes.
Can nyone help me out?
I installed SQL Server Express and SQL Server manager, then tried to start manager. SQL Service is running, but SQL Manager attempt to connect to SQL Server instance times-out even though I correctly identify instance as SQLEXPRESS? Everything seems to be normal - both SQL Server and Manager are on a single Windows XP home machine. Any suggestions. Thanks

Here is my problem: I have SQLEXPRESS running with Windows Authentication on a "server" PC named "ASUS1", and I need to connect from a "client" PC named "Presario1", user "Mauro", connected through a peer network (I use a cross-over cable); both PCs belongs to the same workgroup named "RMT-WORK", and they can see each others shared folders without problems.
I have installed the connectivity components + Management Studio Express on Presario1, and enabled named pipes and TCP/IP protocols; then I've got SQL Browser running. I have also added the Login "Guest" on ASUS1SQLEXPRESS.
When I start Management Studio Express on Presario1 and browse for servers I can select "ASUS1" as database engine but when I try to connect I receive "Error 40: could not open a connection to SQL Server" (same result using SQLCMD); I have tried to add on ASUS1SQLEXPRESS a user "Presario1Mauro" with "CREATE LOGIN [Presario1Mauro] FROM WINDOWS" but I receive a "Windows user not found" error...

Hi all,
I have to deal with a private network of laptops which are all equiped with preinstalled "Windows XP home"
I've installed SQLExpress on one of these, but I cannot connect on it from the rest of the laptops. (I've successfuly done this with "Windows XP profesional" though, and local connections work fine as well).
I've already setup the SQLExpress to accept conections throuigh TCP/IP but I can not think of something else. (Security comes to mind, but I do not know how to resolve it on "Windows XP Home").

Hi all,I'm having a big problem here. I can't seem to connect to a database of MSSQL Server 2005... Here is what I've did:1. Under the Server Explorer>Data Connections.

Hi,
I have two servers, namely ServerA and ServerB. These two servers are on the same subnet. ServerB has a database called DatabaseB.
I'm logged in in ServerA and trying to pull data from DatabaseB.
This is the query I do when I'm logged in in ServerB (note im using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio):
USE DatabaseB
SELECT distinct b.Subject

ON a.Course_ID = b.Course_ID

Is it possible to add an external server registration using SQL Server Management Studio Express CTP?
Reason being I have been doing some work from home and need to port the data back to the office who are on SQL 2000. I have a database with my web hosting company and wanted to export the data to the 'live' database so I could import to the office database - any ideas?
I've tried to connect using my login details and I know the live DB is operational as I can connect through my work system. I just can't seem to be able to do it on my system at home.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as it's been a real pain to get stuff transferred. I've so far had to generate SQL script to create the procs and tables for when I get to work - the proper down side is that I lose the content of the tables which not much right now but will be loads soon!
Many Thanks

I have just dicovered that the CTP management studio will not connect to SQL 7 - is there any alternative or does the new version compensate for this?
Ok,
I am a webdesigner who at the moment does not know SQL (although, I plan on remedying that) so I am developing a page with a DB designer - he is doing the DB work, I am doing the look/feel, but he asked me the following questions, of which I cannot seem to find an answer and the guys who tend our server are useless - so I am hoping someone here can help me. In general what he needs to know is:
"what is the external address (either in domain format or IP) and the equivalent internal address so that we can access the msSQL running on your server. The internal address is needed for the webpages to talk to it, while the external address is needed for development of the pages in visual studio and the database tools." Also, he later sent me an email asking that when I get this info (from someone) that it would be usefull to get a sample string/query to get access to the DB. I am running SQL 2000 and have enterprise manager. Where can I find this information? or how do I figure this out????
Thank you for all the help -- Please let me know if you need any more info.
MS-SQL 2005, C# 2.0
I will have many client databases that will be updated. When they are updated I need to transfer some of that data to a central Server database somewhere on the Internet. Note, schemas do not necessarily match.
Transfering the data (Web Services, Remoting) is not a problem.
What I am looking for is a cool, correct, advisable way, for the client database to notify me of an Insert, Update or Delete. I can then initiate the connection to the Server and 'push' the data (maybe pull some back from the Server too).
Obviously Triggers may be a place to start... But I need to know 'external to the database' that an update has happened or can I send the data from within the SQL Server assembly?
Anyone have any ideas or a technique, maybe something new in SQL Server 2005 (all databases will be 2005), for acheiving this? Just so I don't go down the 'wrong' path...
There are some BLOB's involved (1-2 page PDF's), if that makes a difference.
I envisage that the process transfering the data will be a Windows Service running on each client. The connection may not always be available, so some kind of 'to do' list of outstanding data to be transfered is required.
I'm just starting on this, so any pointers would be great, I'm sure it's all been done before ;)
Thanks
Rob.
Hi,
I'm trying to find out whether it is possible to integrate an external entity into MS SQL Server in following way:
the entity defines certain set of tables
when user performs a query on one of these tables, the query is sent to the entity for processing and results are returned back to SQL server (and to client)
I thought integration services could be used for this task, but I'm quite unfamiliar with MS SQL server, so I don't know whether it would be a feasible solution...
