I have a sql server 2005 remotely, need to connect from client using sql management studio. I am unable to connect from one of the client machine and able to connect from different machine.
The tcp/ip, named pipes and sql browser is enabled in server and windows firewall is off in client.
I am getting (provider: sql network interfaces, error 26 - error locating server/instance specified)
Please throw your suggestions.
i have installed sql server 2005 standard on our server. i need to now connect to the server from a client machine within our network. do i need to install just the client tools? what are the other steps in connecting? im new to sql server, so thanks for the help.

I'm new to MSSQL. At my work place, I'm using MSSQL and using SQL Query Analyzer to run queries and view all my database tables and structures.
Now, I can work remotely at home for the time being. So, how do I get SQL Query Analyzer and be able to connect remotely to my database at work?
I've downloaded SQL Server 2005 Express and it comes with SQL Server Management Studio, which looks similar to SQL Query Analyzer. The problem is though, how would I remotely connect to my database server at work? Is it possible to do this using SQL Server 2005 express?
One thing I was advised to do was configure the TCP/IP Port number from 1433 to 1435. However, I do not see an option to configure that nor do not know how to connect remotely (I do have the IP, User, and Pass).
I have a sql server 2005 remotely, need to connect from client using sql management studio. I am unable to connect from one of the client machine and able to connect from different machine.
The tcp/ip, named pipes and sql browser is enabled in (sscm)server and windows firewall is off in client.
I am getting (provider: sql network interfaces, error 26 - error locating server/instance specified)

Hi,
I have 2 machines using SQL Server 2005 developer edition. I am able to connect to each of them locally without any problem. But when I try using one SQL Server as server and another machine's SQL Server as client, I am not able to connect. I get the following error:
TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to ServerName.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
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.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233).
I have checked for "Allow Remote Connections" property turned on for TCP/IP.
I am using SQL Server Authetication mode.
I have checked for SQL Server Browser service to be running.
Firewall on the server is also allowing the sql server traffic to pass.
But still not able to connect. What could be the problem connecting the 2 machines.
Any help is appreciated.
hi. im still a bit new in handling SQL and im having problems connecting to a remote sql server 2005. i have already configured the surface area to accept remote connections and am using the connection string:
SqlConnection lasConnection = new SqlConnection("user id = sa;" +
"password = 12345; server = Naomi;" +
"Trusted_Connection = yes;" +
"database = LAS;" +
"connection timeout=30");
and it returns an error of "System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: Login failed for user 'NAOMIGuest' "
however, when i use the application on the same computer as the server, it has no problems connecting at all. could please point me to the right direction on how i should face this problem?
thanks in advance
I've been trying to configure remote connections to my sql server express to no avail.
First here are some constants to clear some things up:
- OS: Windows XP Pro
- SQL Express version: April CTP release
- Windows Firewall: disabled (to avoid any problems there)
- Network type: two computers connected a router.
- Router firewall: Enabled (I may be wrong but the router firewall only blocks external traffic, so I left it on.)
First, I configured my SQL server to allow remote connections in the SQL Surface Area Configuration. (Set it to both TCP/IP and named pipes)
Second, I enabled and configured sql server browser.
Third, I enabled TCP/IP and named pipes in the 'Protocols for SQL Express' option of the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
According to http://blogs.msdn.com/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx
I have done everything I need to (including edit the registry to enable the SQL Server Browser service) and the error I continue to get is:
"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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)"
So I tinkered and had no success in messing with anything that would fix it. Although, ***when I browsed for network servers on different machine, the server instance DID show up in the list***. So I find it odd that it can find the instance when browsing, but fails to 'find' it when making a connection.
So I didn't stop there, I decided to try the non-sql server browser method of remotely connecting: specifying the IP.
I went back to the blog of instructions referenced above and re-did the steps, this time specifying a TCP Port for the server instance and then after specifying the port on the remote computer connection string, and attempting to connect, I get this 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: 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.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10060)"
I've done all I know how, read all the possible blogs I can, and nothing's come up. If anyone can shed some light on me, I'd pay you 1 billion pretend dollars. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
Hi
I have installed SQL Server 2005 onto a server and then on my client machine I have installed SQL Server 2005 and the Server Management Studio.
When installing it on the server I chose all the defaults so have not setup an sql username or password to connect as I thought I could use Windows.
I go to the Server Management and registered servers, create a new one and enter the ip address of the server and choose Windows Authentication. The following error keeps appearing though and I am not sure what settings/where to check:
Login failed for user ''. The user is not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection. (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
I have checked and think port 1443 is open on the server, tcpip is enabled but when I choose Windows authentication I cannot enter a username or password as it is greyed out. It has completed the username but no password and these are not the correct ones to connect to the server - I wish to wish the same one I use for RDC.
Or should I try SQL Authentication and if so how would I set this up? Cannot see on the server in SQL Configuration where I could set this?
Hope someone who knows a lot more than me on this can help!
Thanks for your time - this has been driving me mad for days now and everything I print off the internet is not help so any feed back or more useful links to loo up would be great.
hello,
i am trying to connect to Analysis services server through another pc but i am unable to do so.
Using the following commands i manage to connect to analysis services server at my pc
Server.srv=new Server ();
srv.Connect('ip address or name');
but not to another pc. Are there any settings under sql server should i change ?
I had asked a question last week and I realized that I had phrased it in a misleading way. Within a lab environment at my company, we are experimenting w/ accessing remote SQL data files stored separately on another machine from the SQL server itself (whether it be another client or server).
The experiment is this: You have one client machine accessing a SQL server via Enterprise Manager. The datafiles that you are trying to access are stored on another machine that does not have SQL Server installed. This remote machine only has the datafiles.
Can one map a static path via UNC from the SQL server to the datafiles on the remote machine and then access these datafiles (as long as the user's account has the appropriate permissions to the remote machine)? To my understanding, within SQL server you can only access datafiles that are stored locally on the SQL server itself.
The other thing that I was wondering was if the type of user account had some significance in this situation. More than likely, a local user account would not be able to access the remote machine w/ the datafiles even if the SQL server could map an UNC path and retain it. A domainuser account might be able to do this though.
Any help that you could provide would be appreciated.
I have SQL 05 and SQL 200o on same server . SQL 05 version is a named inatnce. But when i try to connect it from my computer first it doest show the name instance in the list and when i manulay write its name i got this error.
"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.) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)"
I went to check that remote connectiona nd SQL browsing is on or not but both were on . any ideas why this is happening and why the name is not coming in list of Server.
Thanks
Hi
I hope this is the right place for this question.
I'm using SQL 2005 Express on my local machine, I can connect and do all I need to.
But when I transfered my database to my remote server I cannot connect (I changed the connection string to suit).
<add name="ClubSiteDB" connectionString="Data Source=xx.xxx.xx.xx,1786;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=xxx;User ID=xxx;Password=xxx;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>
I have checked the connection string passsword etc, and all are correct.
I have tried SQL Server Management Studio, aspnet_regsql.exe etc and all give 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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No such host is known.)or
System.Web.HttpException: Unable to connect to SQL Server database. ---> System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: 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 have used the surface config to enable TCP/IP and named pipes.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Hi,
I am using osql to connect to my remote MSSQL server. I am able to get a prompt for password and telnet to 1433 just fine, so I conclude this is not related to firewall. When I try to connect I get:

Password:
[DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).
When I try to connect from 'localhost':

Thank you.
New sql2005 install as a named instance and having trouble connecting from remote machines.
I noticed on our other servers that the "Public" server role is listed in permissions (right-click over the sqlmgr connection for the dialog, then permissions).
When I try to add the role to the new server it doesn't save! This is the only setting that's different, can't connect using sqlmgr from other machines to this server so any ideas on other settings to look at appreciated.
Hello,
Only the server administrator user can connect to SSIS from remote workstations. All other users encounter "Access denied". What security settings are necessary to permit regular user access to SSIS? Firewalling is not an issue. SSIS is running and works fully for the server administrator user. All users can manage the Database with SSMS just fine; only SSIS cannot be accessed by regular users.
Server Configuration Notes:
Windows Server 2003
SQL Server 2005 Standard
Workstation Configuraiton Notes:
Windows XP Professional
SSMS (installed from the SS2005 media)
Thank you.
i have a Vb application on an client pc that has to connect with a sql databse file on the server.
the connection string is :
connectionString="Data Source=<servername>SQLEXPRESS,1433;Initial Catalog=TBSD.mdf; User Id=sa;Password=sa;integrated security=false;" />
</connectionStrings>
if i run the application i get the error message : "login failed for user 'sa'.
If i try to connect remotely to sql server express with sql server managment studio express i can connect without any problems.
is this a security problem ?
I've combed through SQL Help to find the answer to my question but I think it's telling me it can't be done. I work both from an office with my servers and from home. When I'm at home I would like to access my SQL server remotely using a tool such as MS SQL Server Management Studio. But it appears there is no way to access my SQL Server for management purposes using Management Studio over a remote internet connection. I can access the server using Management Studio while I'm on the internal office network but not from home.
Has anyone been able to do this or might recommend a third party tool as robust as Management Studio?
Thanks
I just reinstalled SQL Server and after reattaching my databases, I can't connect remotely. If I use "localhost" in my connection string it works fine, but I can't register my remote Enterprise Manager this way.

Hello, I am new to SQL Server Express, I am trying to upscale my database/Application to a SQL Server/Application with C#. All I want is to create a SQL Server service on my Office Server and manage it via my station. But I keep getting this error:
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to SERVER.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

The thing is that I went on the Server in the Surface Area Manager, I allowed IP and and Name pipes on network. Still does not work.
When I open the Manager from my station, I see the Server but keep getting this error.
Can someone please help me. Thank you

Hello,
I'm using a Windows XP Home laptop to connect to a network of one of my customers. The administrator of the customer has given me a username and password for a VPN connection. I've got the VPN connection working and I can ping the SQL Express server.
This server is using Windows Authentication. For the users of my VB application we have added a group to the Active Directory and added this group as a user to the SQL Express Server. This works and the users can access the database from within the application. The SQL Express Server allows remote connections and the browser service is also running.
I would like to use the SQL management Studio Express on my laptop to access the remote SQL Express server and manage the database files. To do this I first connect to the remote LAN using VPN and add the address of the SQL EXpress server in the field 'Server name' of the 'Connect to server' screen. The authentication field is set to Windows Authentication. However the username is greyed out and states the login for the SQL Express server on my laptop: laptopusername. How can I correct this?
I don't know whether the username of the VPN connection is in the Active Directory. Should this be the case and should this user also be added to the login/user of the SQL Express server? And how do I get the Management Studio to connect to the remote server? Could XP Home be the bottleneck as it cannot logon to a domain?
Anyone any ideas?
I am unable to login to the sql server as I would like to reboot the server, please let me know how I can do the following remotely in such a scenario:

We recently moved our SQL Server 7.0 database from one machine to another, and I think the guys who did it didn't do things quite right...
None of the DTS packages work anymore....
the little lines (for lack of better terms here..) that contain the SQL statements and such, well, if I try to edit the properties of them, I get an error that says this:
Error Source: Microsoft OLD DB Provider for SQL Server
Error Description:[DBMSSOCN]General network error. Check your network documentation.
My guess is that the things are looking for Server X and now they're on Server Y. Problem is, that when I try to edit the properties of the 'little line'...that error pops up...and then the window that comes up with the tabs across the top of it that lets me enter the SQL statement disappears right away and I can't make the changes?!?
Other question:
The SQL Server is now on a machine that's like 3000 miles away. Right now I use pcAnyWhere to log into it and use the SQL Enterprise Manager there.
Well, I've got SQL Server installed on this machine here...surely there is a way to have this SQL Enterprise Manager here connect to the remote SQL Server so I can play with it that way instead of the pcanywhere mess...right? Seems logical....
Thanks......

I had a big problem on connecting sqlserver remotely from other machines on the network .....
From any computer in the network i wanna to register the instance of the sqlserver from the enterprise manager ..... the server instance doesn't appear within the available sqlserver list (the servername which equal to my machine is the only one that appear) ..... when i manualy write the servernamealias manually and i choose the connection type and then i write sqlserver username and password and then finish he give a message to me that access denied or sql server doesn't exist ... !!
by the way from the local machine i registered the local instance of sqlserver successfully and successfully i access the Databases .....
To be noted:
I previously uninstalled this alias and i then i reinstalled it again with the same name and i attached the previously exists Databes.
in the same time i installed on the same machine sqlserver 2005 connectivity clients not the server itself.
We have a package (which uses SQL Server Destination Task) imported in the SQL Server. Is it possible to invoke this SSIS package from a remote App Server through C# .NET.
We would like to execute the SSIS package in the SQL Server itself and pass on the results of execution to the calling C#.NET application via the output variables declared in the SSIS package.
Thanks,

I would like to build a C# program to connect to a remote SQL2005 server.
Then call the server SSIS to run a .exe in the server (The .exe file already exist in the SQL2005 server)
I have refer to the following webpage http://www.codeproject.com/useritems/CallSSISFromCSharp.asp
I can connect to the SQL server by the "LoadFromSqlServer" method with SQL server login A/C.
However, the SSIS failed. I believe it should be due to the window authentication issue. During SSIS execution, the SQL server login A/C does not have the access right to run the .exe file
Could anyone suggest the solution?
Thanks.
