Connecting To SQL Server 2005 - Not Allow Remote Connections

Nov 23, 2006

I use ASP.NET 2.0 and VS.NET 2005.

I have the following expression in my code:

string connectionString = "server='localhost'; user id='sa'; password=''; Database='Northwind'";

 When I executed the code I have the following error message:

"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 Microsoft Access was successfully connected in the Server Explorer window.

How do I solve this problem?

Thanks,

Andy.

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

Jan 22, 2008

When my default.aspx page loads I get this error for the connection to my SQL 2005 DB.    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) I have already gone to Surface Area Configuration to ensure that Remoting with both Named Pipes or TCP/IP is enabled and it's set to both for remoting.I verified that my local account has access to the DB.Not sure what else to check.

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.

Jan 22, 2008

My site works fine in VWD2008 express, but I get this error when I try to use it on my live website.
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. 
According to this article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277  I am supposed to:




1.
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.
Ok, there is no such program in this folder.  The only thing in there is "SQL Server Error and Usage Reporting"...
 The other thing I am greatly concerned with is this:  All is want is for my webpages to be able to access my database for user authentication.  I DO NOT want to grant the internet rights to remote connect to my database.

Dec 10, 2007

I get the following error and have been trying to figure out why I keep getting it.  Initially, I had placed my project under wwwroot folder and ran it under IIS and it gave this error.  Then I moved it to my local C drive and same thing.  I am sharing this project with two other co-workers and all our config files and code files are same...they don't get this error but I do.  I checked that SQL Server Client Network Utility has TCP/IP and the 'Named Pipes' enabled.  I thought maybe I have setting in the Visual Studio 2005 that I'm not aware of that's causing this problem...it can't be the server since my co-workers aren't having this error and can't be anything in the code since all of us are sharing this project through vss.  I dont' think using different version of .net framework can create this error.  I changed the version from 2.0 to use 1.1x and it gave same error... Any help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks in advance.

SQL Server 2005 Does Not Allow Remote Connections

Oct 11, 2006

Hello ,

The problem is that we are having Problem while making the remote Connection to the Sql Server 2005

Basically We are having a problem connecting to SQL2005 through a package remotely. when we try to connect to a remote data base, we get the following error

[Connection manager "CRA LRRS Development DB"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Login timeout expired". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "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.". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "SQL Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified [xFFFFFFFF]. ".


Although by running the configuration manager on the Remote DataBase System we have enable the Remote Connections through name and IP both but still it cant access it.

Please tell us the possible consequences and provide us the feedback.

I will be really obliged if any of you can provide us the feedback on it as soon as possible.

Thanking You,
Yours Sincerely,

Help With How To Configure SQL Server 2005 To Allow Remote Connections

Nov 14, 2006

Hi there! I've been trying for several days now to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections, apparently, with no luck.
I always have this error message: Microsoft SQL Native Client: 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've followed the instructions at this link -> http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=914277&SD=tech, but I have been having the same problems.
I've already adjusted my firewall settings.
What should I do? 
Please help me...

How To Allow Remote Connections To SQL Server 2005 Express Database

Feb 27, 2006

I've developed an asp.net 2.0 web app with vs 2005 and am using a SQL Server 2005 Express database. The app works fine locally, but after uploading to the remote web server the following error occures:
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)

How do I go about granting remote connections to SQL Server Express?

Does the web server have to have SQL Server Express installed in order to run apps that utilize SQL Server 2005 Express databases?

Do I grant access locally on my machine or do I have to be on the web server to grant remote connections?

I've been using .net 1.1 with access databases for the past couple of years, so this is all new to me.

Thanks.

Cannot Configure SQL Server Express 2005 For Remote Connections

Aug 15, 2006

Hello. I have SQLEXPRESS 2005 installed on my laptop running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. I have an application that can connect to the local instance with no problem. The other day, I tried to configure SQLEXPRESS 2005 for a remote connection from my desktop. To date, I have been unable to figure out how to do this.

I have followed the instructions posted at various locations on the internet, but to no avail. While I can configure SQLEXPRESS 2005 to allow TCP/IP connections, I have been unable to restart the server.

Here is the pertinent snippet from the error log:

<time> Server A self-generated certificate was successfully loaded for encryption.
<time> Server Error: 26024, Severity: 16, State: 1.
2006-08-14 21:02:27.18 Server Server failed to listen on 'any' <ipv4> 0. Error: 0x277a. To proceed, notify your system administrator.
<time> Server Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1.
<time> Server TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x277a, status code 0xa.
<time> Server Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1.
<time> Server TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x277a, status code 0x1.
<time> Server Error: 17826, Severity: 18, State: 3.
<time> Server Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately preceding this one in the error log.
<time> Server Error: 17120, Severity: 16, State: 1.
<time> Server SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.

I have a feeling this problem is due to the way my system is configured, not necessarily how my SQLEXPRESS 2005 is configured. My laptop and desktop are connected via a wireless router, and both machines are running Norton Anti-Virus 2006. I've added sqlserver.exe and sqlbrowser.exe to the exceptions list for the Worm protection on the laptop, i.e., the server machine. There's not a setting at the router that would prevent the server from re-starting, is there?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

SQL Server 2005 Rejects Remote Internet Connections

Sep 27, 2007

PROBLEM:


SQL 2005 rejects connection from an ASP.net test webpage (shown below).

CONFIGURATION:

Internet > Concast Cable > Router > Sever01 Nic1 > Server01 SBS 2003 & SQL 2005 > Sever01 Nic2 > Switch > Local Area

Linksys Router WRV54G( Firmware Version: 2.39.2): Port Range Forwarding TCP 1433 and UDP 1434

Small Business Server 2003 Premium (Server Name: Server01)

Two network cards: Internet Ionnection and Local Area Network

Ran: Remote Access Wizzard (disables access to Windows Firewall)
Note: Remote workplace, Outlook Web Access, Sharepoint, etc, on ports 443,444, 3389, 4125 All work remotely - so Linksys router and RRAS port settings are working.

By default: TCP protocol is enabled and local remote connections are enabled on standard Edition. Also by default: MSSQLSERVER automatic/started/running and SQL Server Browser automatic/started/running

Ran: SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration to confirm MSSQLSERVER instance settings are running.

"sa" is a default account that works locally.


SQL Server Configuration Manager:

MSSQLSERVER protocols: Share Memory and TCP/IP enabled

TEST ASP.net Web Page Button Sub

I have this button on a page at Godaddy.com connecting to an instance of MS SQL provided by Godaddy and there is no problem connecting to that SQL Server.

Dim rdr As SqlDataReader = Nothing
Dim conn As SqlConnection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=tcp:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx; Initial Catalog=Server01 blCategories; User ID=sa; Password=xxx")

Dim cmd As SqlCommand = new SqlCommand("SELECT Category FROM tblCategories;", conn)
rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader()

rdr.Close()
conn.Close()
End Sub


ERROR:
The follworing error occurs or variations of it depending on different connection string configurations:

Occurs at: conn.Open()

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.)


THOUGHTS

Possibly a bad connection string or Microsoft security issue.

I've attempted many other connection string formats such as:

Dim conn As SqlConnection = new SqlConnection("Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,1433;
Network Library=DBMSSOCN; Initial Catalog=Server01Test; User ID=sa; Password=xxx")


But I continue to receive connection failure messages (or invalid connection string errors for incorrectly formed connection strings).

I've tried disabling RRAS and Windows Firewall and the same errors resulted.

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Remote Connections Enabled, But I Still Get Error That Remote Is Not Configured - Sql 2005

Aug 23, 2006

Fellow Devs,
I have an instance of SQL Server Express 2005 running on another box and I have Remote Connections enabled over both TCP/IP and Named Pipes, but on my other box I keep getting the error that the server does not accept Remote Connections.
Any ideas why this might be happening? Is there some other configuration?

Problem With Remote Connections With SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition

May 10, 2007

After applying the changes mentioned in KB 914277 to allow remote connections, while working in Visual Studio 2005, I'm now getting an error with the number 26: Error locating server/Instance specified...



Sure wish I knew what remote means in this scenario, as there is nothing "remote" about my installation. I only have 1 computer, the one i'm working on, where SQL Server and Visual Studio are installed, and no networks involved, so what is remote?



Any help would be appreciated!!

Remote Connections Using SQL Server 2005 Developers Enterprise Edition

Feb 12, 2007

I have a problem. I am using the developers version of SQL Server Enterprise edition.


I am trying to run a command in MS command prompt:

Aspnet_regsql -E -S localhost -ssadd -sstype p

After I execute this command, I receive a Name Pipe
error that under the default settings, SQL Server
doesn't allow remote connections. I took some steps
to try to resolve the problem:

1) I googled the interrnet to see if there was any one
else who ran into the same problem and if there was a
quick resolution.


2) I check SQL Server Books on line about SQL server
configuration manager and how to enable remote
connections using Name Pipes and TCP/IP.


3) I used C:WINDOWSsystem32cliconfg.exe to enable
Name Pipes and TCPIP to be enable on the client.


4) I enabled SQl Server Browser to help me with my
problem


5) I stopped the Database engine, enable local and
remote connections using Name pipes and TCP/IP,then I
restarted the database engine along with SQl server
Agent.

6) I did check SQl Server error logs to see what port
it was listening on , but I thought that SQl Server
was suppose to listen on port 1433 by default, and
Name pipes /SQL/query.

7)I have check the error logs to see what port that SQL Server was listening to
and trying to use the port number in the client config utility. I am still getting the same error.

8) I tried to remove name pipes in the SQL Server Surface Manager and allow local and remote connections using only TCP/IP. I still get the same error. I did stop and restarted the Database Engine.

What steps have I not taken , and what should I do to correct this problem?

Connecting To Remote SQL Server 2005

Jun 17, 2007



I have set up a SQL Server 2005 to use for testing before moving to another production server. The server works fine when I connect to it with a program on the same computer but not when accessed remotely.



I have set it to to allow remote connections and use TCP IP only and have opened TCP port 1433 on the Windows XP firewall and am using the Teredo service on Port UDP 3544 Also the Server Browser service is running. The server is connected directly to the internet on a static IP (eg. 67.156.18.167) I have set the server to Windows authentication.



When I try to connect to the database from a data grid in Visual Studio on another computer it fails.



I am pretty surethat the problem is that I am not giving the correct information when asked to fill in the information for the data source to find the server as I am new to remote connections in SQL Server.

Thanks for any insight

Problems Connecting To Remote SQL Server 2005

Jan 4, 2007

I'm using Visual Studio 2005 Pro and am attempting to connect to a remote SQL Server 2005. I have the server name, SQL login credentials, and database name. However, when I try connecting 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)" 
I know that remote access is enabled because I received the connection instructions directly from the database administrator. I've tried turning off my firewall. I've tried connecting with Data source: Microsoft SQL Server using both Data providers: ".NET Framework Data Provider for SQL Server" and ".NET Framework Data Provider for OLE DB". Nothing seems to work.
Any suggestions for what I may be doing wrong? Do I have to have certain software installed on my computer to make this work (other that VS2005)?

Connecting To SQL Server 2005 From A Remote Machine

Jan 24, 2006

I'm trying to connect to a sql server machine from another machine on the network and I'm getting 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"
More information about the machines:
All machines are on the same private netwrok, all in the same workgroup.
Machine1: this is the DB server, Win 2003 server, it has SQL 2005 developer edition, .Net runtime 2.0.
Machine2: trying to connect to machine 1, Win 2003 server, .Net runtime 2.0
On the DB server, TCP/IP is enabled with port 1433, also named pipes are enabled.
I checked the ERRORLOG and it says it's ready for connections and it's listening...Also there are no firewalls between the machines, I also added the sql server service .exe and the sql explorere .exe to the windows firewall exceptions on the DB server (although it's disabled)...
I'm not sure what else to do, I checked all sources online, applied anything related to this issue but not luck. This has wasted 3 hours of my time, this was a task that wouldn't take you a minute in older versions!! , Microsoft thinks it's making our life easier but in fact, I spend more time now on trouble shooting than before...
Let me know if you have a solution..
thanks,
Tamer

Connecting On One Remote Computer But Not The Other On Sql Server 2005

Feb 15, 2007

I am unable to connect to a remote server on Computer A from Computer B, but when I reverse it I am able to connect to a remote server on computer B from computer A. I have SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on both computers. I am using the using the SQL Management Studio to connect. Both Computers have these settings

Using Surface Area Configuration both have local and remote connections checked. Both computers using tcp/ip only checked.

Using Configuration Manager both the sql server and the sql browser are running. Both computers have tcp/ip protocols enabled.

Under the server properties on both computers, under the Security Tab, I have SQL Server and Windows Authentication Mode checked. Under the Connections tab I have Allow remote connections on this server checked.

I believe I have the Security for both the server and databases done properly giving them both proper Logins and User Roles with the proper permission.

Also went to my window firewall settings and under the Exceptions tab, I added both the sql server.exe and sql browser.exe programs on both computers on my remote network.

But when I connect on Computer B, I get an error message stating:

TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------

Cannot connect to 'ServerName'

------------------------------
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 tried pinging server a and then server b and they both pinged.



Could someone please tell me what could be wrong on my remote computers.

Connecting ASP.NET To MS SQL Server 2005 On Remote Server

Apr 11, 2008

hi,I recently finished designing an ASP.NET website which connects to MS SQL Server 2005 on my local machine. I have now just uploaded my ASP.NET website to a remote server and the MS SQL Database to another remote server. Unfortunately when I try and access the database through the website I get an error - I believe this is due to the website still trying to connect the database to my local machine instead of the remote server. In my web.config I have the following ConnectionString code:  <connectionStrings>    <add name="EcoHouse" connectionString="Server=localhostSqlExpress;Database=EcoHouse;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />    <remove name="LocalSqlServer" />    <add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="Server=localhostSqlExpress;Database=EcoHouse;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />    </connectionStrings> I attempted to use Microsoft .NET Framework SDK 2.0 to configure the remote server. I entered the following however got an error:
Setting environment to use Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0 SDK tools.For a list of SDK tools, see the 'StartTools.htm' file in the bin folder.

Problems Of Remote Connections For Creating A SQLCLR Project In SQL Server Express-ADO.NET 2.0-VB 2005 Express Via Network/LAN

Sep 19, 2007

Hi all,

In my office computer network system (LAN), my Windows XP Pro PC has SQL Server Express and VB 2005 Express installed and I was granted to have the Administrator priviledge to access SQL Server Express. I tried to create a SQLCLR project in my terminal PC.
1) I tried to set up a remote connection to SQL Server Express in the following way: SQL Server EXpress => SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. In the Surface Area Configuration for Service and Connection - local, I clicked on Remote Connection of Database Engine, SQLEXPRESS and I had a "dot" on "Local and remote connections" and "Using TCP/IP only". Then I clicked on "Apply" and "OK" buttons. Then I went to restart my database engine in SQL Server Management. When I went to check SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration, I saw the arrow is pointing to "Service", not to "Remote Connections"!!!??? Is it right/normal? Please comment on this matter and tell me how I can have "Remote Connecton" on after I selected it.

2) After I restarted the database engine (I guess!!), I executed the following project code (copied from a book) in my VB 2005 Express:

SQL 2005 Standard Won't Accept Remote Connections - Followed All FAQs But Options Aren't Available

Sep 24, 2006

Hi,

SQL Server 2005 isn't accepting any connection other than SQL Management Studio from the local machine. However, even that's exhibiting strange behavior (please see below for more details).

I've read through all the common errors regarding enabling remote connections via the SAC tool, making sure protocols are enabled, etc. This case seems to be completely outside. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,

Elias


[1] Client side:
What is the connection string in you app or DSN? N/A. Can't connect via any remote method, including client Control Panel > ODBC > create DSN, SQL Server Enterprise Manager, third party application.
If client fails to connect, what is the client error messages? Several, depending on method: "server does not exist or access denied", "error has occurred... under default settings, SQL Server does not accept remote connections", etc.
Is the client remote or local to the SQL server machine? Remote
Can you ping your server? YesCan you telnet to your SQL Server? No. However, there's a functional instance of SQL Server 2000 on the same domain which has no problems- telnet also fails to that instance, even locally from either machine using the 127.0.0.1 address. Telnet functions for other ports.
What
is your client database provider? N/A Or/And, what is your client
application? SQL Management Studio and others
Is your client computer in the same domain as the Server computer? Same domain
What protocol the client enabled? TCPIP when I attempted to create the DSN. Not sure what protocol SQL Management Studio uses.
Do
you have aliases configured that match the server name portion of your
connection string? NoDo you select force encryption on server and/or client? No


[2] Server side:

What is the MS SQL version? SQL Server 2005
What is the SKU of MS SQL? Standard
What
is the SQL Server Protocol enabled? [Shared Memory | TCPIP | Named
Pipes ] Have tried all three individually and together. Configuration Manager exhibits strange behavior (see below)Does the server start successfully? Server starts successfully when the machine boots. However once it's stopped, it can't be restarted (see below)
If SQL Server is a named instance, is the SQL browser enabled? Default instance
What is the account that the SQL Server is running under? Local SystemDo
you make firewall exception for your SQL server TCP port if you want
connect remotely through TCP provider? Not sure, but SQL Server 200 instance is working OK
Do
you make firewall exception for SQL Browser UDP port 1434? Unknown


[3] Platform:
What is the OS version? Client: Windows XPSP2 Server: Windows Server 2003
Do you have third party antivirus, anti-spareware software installed? Client: Trend Micro Server: UnknownOther behavior:

A separate instance of SQL Server 2000 on a different machine on the same domain is functioning without problems.

Telnet to either SQL Server (functional 2000 or problem 2005) on port 1433 is not possible - even when attempted from the local machine using 127.0.0.1! Telnet to both machines works using other ports.

When creating a DSN from a client machine, problem 2005 instance is in list of available SQL Servers, however connection fails ("SQL Server denied access or does not exist").

MSSQLSERVER service starts automatically on boot. However, once stopped the service can not be restarted. Message given: "SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER) service on Local Computer Started and then Stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do, for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts Service."


MSSQLSERVER service starts automatically on boot. However, once stopped the service can not be restarted. Message given: "SQL
Server (MSSQLSERVER) service on Local Computer Started and then
Stopped. Some services stop automatically if they have no work to do,
for example, the Performance Logs and Alerts Service."

SQL Server Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections tool does not display Database Engine option as indicated by this MS guide to enabling remote connections: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;914277

SQL Server communication manager shows TCP, Shared memory, named pipes enabled. However event log seems to show instance not listening via any protocol. Message displayed as: "SQL Server listening on ." (should read: "Server is listening on ['any' <ipaddress> <ipv4> <Port Number>])

Several answers indicated uninstall and reinstall could solve these problems. However, wizard refused to uninstall SQL Server.

Attempted disabling Shared Memory as documentation indicates this protocol gets used first. No luck.

Access through SQL Server Management Studio works, from local machine only.

Able to ping machine by name and IP.

Error 26 - Connecting To A Remote SQL 2005 Instanc

Mar 25, 2008

I have been reading every resource available out there about getting this connection to work. Can someone help me diagnose what the problem is? As the client, what ports do I need to have open? I'm using ReliableSite.net web hosting and trying to connect to their sql server.

I've also asked for help on their forum and opened a ticket to see if perhaps its listening on a different port, but they say its my issue.

For reference:

Problem Connecting To Remote Sqlserver 2005

Oct 11, 2006

Hi

I am having a problem connecting to SQL2005 through a package
remotely. if the db is on the same system , the package is running
fine. But when i try to connect to a remote db, i get the following
error

Failed to acquire connection "[DBName]". Connection may not be
configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this

I have already allowed remote connections on the db server using the SQL server surface are configuration utility.



Can any body tell me the issue.

Remote Client Connecting To A SQL 2005 Instance.

Jul 25, 2007

Good afternoon,

I currently develop/maintain VB 05' apps for PDA's and desktops. I've got a scanner app that scans labels to build/transmit orders via an HTTP byte stream. I'm currently building an inventory app that resides at the remote client (windows not web) and can eventually connect to my SQL Server @ corp. At this point SQL 2005 endpoints work on the internal network but fail to resolve remotely. I've read about connecting to a SQL Server via HTTP with ip specs embedded in the connect string but havnt been able to find an example. Outside of creating a VPN for connectivity, can anyone recommend connection ideas for my scenario? Is it true that endpoints are only recommended for intranet consumption?

Thanks,

ChrisG
