Unfortunately, I'm getting the following error on my aspx page:
SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
I had no problem writing a connection string to connect to the MSDE installed on my computer, but making a connection to the Northwind database on my newly installed SQL Server 2000 Developer edition has been elusive to me.
I'm sure my IP address is correct. The authentication mode for logging into the database via Enterprise Manager is setup to require a password for sa. Therefore, I assume it's required in the connection string???
Maybe not so coincidentally, while I have been able to open this database through the Server Explorer in VS.NET, I'm not able to access it via Enterprise Mananger (no response, it just hangs) or my aspx pages.
I'm dying here!!! Is my connection string wrong? Any insights would be greatly appreciated!
I am trying to attach to the SQL Server 2000 sample Northwind database using SQL Server 2005. When I do the Database-->Attach using the GUI everything seems alright. I can open the Northwind database and see the usual listing of stuff.
However, when I click on the Database Diagrams, I get an error message stating "Database diagram support objects cannot be installed because this database does not have a valid owner. To continue, first use the Files page of the Database Properties dialog box or the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to set the database owner to a valid login, then add the database support objects."
I have tried repeatedly to get the ALTER AUTHORIZATION statement to work, all to no avail. I have restarted my machine, and the properties of the database is now saying that the owner is the same as the other databases I have, but I keep getting the error message.What am I doing wrong here? How can I fix this?

I am developing a system using VS 2003 with database SQL Server 2000. In web.config, I have added the following code in it <sessionState mode="InProc" stateConnectionString="tcpip=127.0.0.1:42424" sqlConnectionString="data source=127.0.0.1;Database=grandb;Trusted_Connection=yes" cookieless="false" timeout="60" />
Actually I don't know if the above code is correct. My database is stored in the SQL Server 2000 and named as grandb. Thank you.
Hi, My problem is somewhat like this that, i want to connect my all applications (developed in asp.net) to one database. In other words i want to make a centralised database that can be accessible from the application running at the different domains. When i did so by using the same username, password, database and server...i recieve an error that, "connection cannot be establised". If any body have the solution for this problem. then please do write the "connection string" for me that can be efficiantly used on the applications running on differnt domains. Thanks and Regards, Steve Dcosta
Hello All, I am just getting started on aspx, coming from an asp background. I created the following connectionString in my web.config file:<connectionStrings> <add name="OuWebDB" connectionString="server=OurServer;database=OurDatabase;uid=TheUser;pwd=ThePassword"providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings>
when I run this aspx file, from a machine, 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) Help!!

We have installed SQL Server 2000 in our new server running on Microsoft Windows Server 2003.
We tried to connect to the database in the Server where it is installed. We are able to connect when we give server name. We are unable to connect when we give IP Address of the server.
Hi Folks,I'm very new to SQL Server. I have a home network. My primary connectionto the internet is using "Gateway 1" a linksys router, of which, my serveris a LAN node on that router. I have another LAN node connecting to the WANnode of the "Gateway 2" a wireless USR router to use with my laptop. Usingthe wireless laptop, I am on a different subnet than the Server. I'd liketo make a connection to the server through Visual Studio.net but I can'tseem to do it. I'm using TCP/IP with a port different than the default port(let's call it port 2110, even though it's not). I do have port forwardingon Gateway1 and I've tried everything from just the server internal IPaddress, the external IP address, IP address with port designation, URL withport designation, nothing seems to work. Any ideas?Thanks!Rick
I have an Access 97 database that I connect to a SQL Server 2000through ODBC. I have to manually set up the ODBC connection on eachuser's machine if I want them to be able to use the application though.Is there a way to store the connection string within the Access DB soI don't have to touch the ODBC settings on each user's machine? Or isthere a different solution that I'm missing? There are way too manyfor me tosetup. Thanks in advance.
Please help to connect SQL server 2000 on different domain. Please correct if I m wrong.
System details as follows

SQL Server Domain : DomainB System : System2 IP Address : 10.108.22.19 SQl Server : System2inst2 ( My database is under inst2 instance) SQL login : TestUser1 Password : Users123
I have Opened firewall port to access 10.108.22.19 from 10.10.225.19
While connecting the SQL server €śSystem2inst2€? from the client machine enterprise manager with the SQL authentication, I am getting error Login failed for user €śTestUser1€?
And I have noticed in the SQL server log the login attempt shows under System2 default instance ( no instance). Actually I want to connect system2inst2.
I get the following error message in quotes. I have a web application written in ASP.NET 2.0 through which I am trying to connect to a remote SQL Server 2000. My operating system is Windows Vista . I looked at many different sites to find a solution for this but without any luck. I am sure someone would have seen this issue here and I expect them to shed some light. 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 connection string is located in my web.config file which looks like <add name="AMSConn" connectionString="Data Source=xxxx;Initial Catalog=testdb;User ID=sa;Password=xxxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> I want to get this issue resolved and I need you guys help. Please let me know if you need any more information. Thanks Bharat
I'm new to using VS2005 and this is my first project connecting to our MS SQL 2000. App worked fine on my dev PC, connection to the same MS SQL Server. Published the web site to the web server (same server running MS SQL Server) and getting the below error. Is this a permission setup problem on SQL Server or does it really think it's connecting with a MS SQL 2005 database? An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

My environment is Windows Server2003, ASP.NET 2.0, SQL Server 2000 using SQL authentication (names of DB's, sql id's, passwords are identical on both servers) My web application successfully connects to my database the web app and the DB are both on the same server (10.144.25.9).This connection string works: <add name="DefaultDataTierConnectionA" connectionString="Data Source=10.144.25.9,1433; Network Library=DBMSSOCN; Initial Catalog=9D_SQL; User ID=******; Password=******" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> PROBLEM: The problem occurs when the DB is mpved to the remote SQL Server (10.144.25.10). I use almost the identical connection string except for the IP address which is changed to the remote machine. The db name, user, password is same on remote machine as on the local, so everything should work but does'nt. This connection string fails: <add name="DefaultDataTierConnectionA" connectionString="Data Source=10.144.25.10,1433; Network Library=DBMSSOCN; Initial Catalog=9D_SQL; User ID=******; Password=******" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/> error (odd error in that I'm connecting to SQL 2000?) - An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

There is no DBA on this project, I'm not sure this is a SQL Server set up problem?
I'm experiencing a problem connecting to a SQL 2000 server through my ASP code. My connection string is as follows: <add name="TheConnectionString" connectionString="driver={Sql Server};provider=MSDASQL;server=10.0.1.42;database=dbname;uid=*********;pwd=*********" providerName="System.Data.Odbc" /> The problem doesn't occur when I run my ASP code from my workstation using VS.NET's builtin webserver. It makes the connections and executes the CRUD commands successfully. However, when I publish my site to the webserver (which resides on 10.0.1.16) it fails out with the following error: System.Data.Odbc.OdbcException: ERROR [08001] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.ERROR [01000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()). I've verified that the webserver can talk to the DB server by connecting to the remote DB server through SQL Enterprise Manager running locally on the webserver. If I try to do this with a DSN I get the same results. I get the same error from any other webserver on the internal network. The difference between my workstation and the internal network is that I'm using a VPN to connect to our internal network while the webservers are physically connected to it. Firewalling isn't the issue in this case because the webservers and DB server are on a trusted network. I've seen other ways of connecting to the DB server including using Named Pipes (which I would rather not do because I don't want to setup a named pipe on the production db server). I'm relatively new to ASP.NET 2.0, so the above connection string is an adaptation of some old ASP code. If anybody has any suggestions on a better way to construct this connection string, please let me know. I've been racking my brains trying to get this to work outside of the devel env.
I fully understand that to connect to a named instance of SQL Server you need to use the ServerNameSQLInstanceName. The problem I have is that I have a SQL Server in a different zone. I can connect to the Default instance by IP Address or the ServerName.zone.domain.org. (e.g. MySQLServer.zone1.mydomain.org).
However, the same thing does not work for the Named Instance. It seems to be named instance or nothing.
How can I connect to this named instance across network zones?:S
We are having all kinds of issues with named instances for SQL 2000.
I am trying to connect to a SQL Server 2000 named instance on a different subnet and get an error. I cannot connect with ODBC or our web app.
I am using the port number for the alias that I created in the SQL Client Utility. We can connect to default instances without a problem, but not the named instances.
The SQL Server is 2000 build 2040 (Service pack 4 with a hot fix.) The server is listening on port 1223. In the ODBC connection I click on the Network Config and create an alias with the named instance such as SQLVSNSQLNI and specify port 1223. I have also tried adding the port to the connection string in the ASP include file (SQLVSNSQLNI,1223). If I do the same thing with a default instance on the network, both the app and ODBC work fine. It is only when I use a named instance.
Very frustrated. Thanks for any help you can provide
I am having difficulty connecting to SQL Server 2000 on one of ourservers via a VB6 program on Vista. I can connect fine to a differentserver, but it gives me the following error with the server inquestion:"Unable to connect to database. Please check your internet connectionError# -2147467259[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist oraccess denied"Using the program, I am able to access the database just fine whilerunning on Windows XP, but when I run the program on Vista, it givesme that error message for that server. If I change the connectionstring to a different server address, it works fine on Vista. Whatdifferences in the servers might cause this?Here is my connection string:"driver={SQL Server};Server=ipaddress;Uid=userID;Pwd=pwd;databa se=db"
I am developing an application which needs JDBC connection to a Named Instance of SQL Server 2000 (other than default instance). I am facing problem in this regard as my code gives an exception "Time Out" or "Connection Failed". However it works fine with the default named instance...The main driver class is "com.microsoft.sqlserver.jdbc.SQLServerDriver"
It gives the exception that Unable to connect to named instance....
Please if any one have any knowledge in this regard....do let me know....I have read an article on MSDN according to which on MS SQL Server 2000 the named Instance other than default can be accessed only through named pipes.
if some body can tell me Connection string for JDBC driver which utilizes named pipes...the it will be very help full for me.........any help from MSDN Experts is really appreciated...
I have installed Server 2005 Express on a pc running Windows Server 2000 sp4 which I want to use as the server for a network of pcs. However, I am unable to login to SQL Express on this machine from Sql Server Management Studio Express. I am in mixed mode and trying to connect with Server Authentication. I get various error messages none of which seem to point to the problem.
Networked to this pc are several other machines running Xp Professional/Home sp2 and if I install SQL Express on one of these I can log in to SQL Express on that machine without any problem. I can also connect to it via the network from the Win Server 2k machine.
Does anyone know of any issues when installing Server 2005 Express on a pc running Windows Server 2000 sp4.

I have a vb 6 program that has been running for several years against a 6.5 db. I convert the db to 2000, and now when I repoint the software to the 2000 db, I get "Invalid Authorization Specification" when I try to open the connection. The connection string is:Dim conn As ADODB.ConnectionSet conn = New ADODB.Connectionconn.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB" & _ ";Data Source=" & sServer & _ ";Initial Catalog=" & sDB & _ ";User Id=" & goProcess.UserID & _ ";Password=" & goProcess.Password & ";"All of the variables are filled out correctly, when I go against a 6.5 it works, Sql Server 2000 doesn't.
My server administrator has created a few users as domain user privilege for connecting SQL server from my application. However it faild to connect, and
with Domain Admin privilege, my app is running ok.
I asked admin person to upgrade domain user privilege to connect SQL server,
but he couldn't do this for security reason, and told it should work with domain user.
Is it true for domain user to connect SQL server without any problem?
Do I need to add the user, domain user, into Logins of Security inside SQL server Enterprise Manager?
Or inside users of my database section of SQL server EManager?

hi there - I'm praying someone here can shed some light on this - after many google and web searches, I have found users with similar issues, but have yet to find a solution. Problem: I have recently upgraded my desktop from Windows XP to Windows Vista Ultimate (clean install) and have migrated my local machine to SQL Server 2005. However I have a number of .Net projects that access databased on another server running SQL Server 2000 - prior to my upgrade to Vista, I was running SQL Server 2000 on my desktop as well. During the install, everything seemed to go well, and I also installed the SQL Server 2005 Service pack as instructed via the MSDN site. However, when attempting to test my .net projects on my desktop pc (ie visit http://localhost), I encounter 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) note that the server I am attempting to connect TO is the old SQL 2000 server - NOT 2005. I specify my connection info in the web.config - and it points to an external ip address on the web. Can anyone shed some light on this? I've tried enabling remote access on my local SQL 2005 install, but I'm fairly sure thats for servers that want to connect to my desktop, rather than my desktop attempting to connect to external servers. Any help is greatly appreciated - I'm pulling my hair out over trying to figure this out! :) To summarize my setup (if it helps) Desktop PC:Windows Vista (Ultimate)SQL Server 2005Visual Studio 2005II 7.0.Net 2.0 (ASP.Net Application) External Server (co-located at a datacenter)Windows Server 2003SQL Server 2000IIS 6.0.Net 2.0 (ASP.Net Application)
