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?
HiI'm going insane.I have a club starter kit on my local server which is working fine.I have migrated the database to my remote host and seems to have transfered ok.For a brief period I was able to connect to the database remotely, but now I cannot I get the following, even though SQL Server Surface Area Config is set to accept remote connections.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.)This is my connection string;<add name="ClubSiteDB" connectionString="Data Source=xx.xxx.xx.xx,xxxx; Network Library=DBMSSOCN; Initial Catalog=tets; User ID=sqladminbob;Password=sqlbob4398;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient="/>I hav also tried to use aspnet_regsql.exe to add the remote provider but I get the same message. Thanks
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi, can anyone tell me whats the maximum number of connections you can have to MSDE? Eg, is it enough to host an intranet site for a relativly small business?
View 2 Replies View RelatedI'm using Visual Studio.Net enviroment, i have SQL desktop Engine installed and everything is working great. I have a problem that whenever i create a new database connections i can NOT delete it. I know that i have to select the node containing the connection and then press the DEL Key, but it seems that the delete option is not valid!
Any Suggestion?
I always thought that MSDE supported up to 5 concurrent connections. However, I was just at Microsoft's Web site and it says that MSDE supports *25* concurrent connections:
http://www.microsoft.com/sql/msde/downloads/download.asp
There's a big difference between 5 connections and 25. Did MS just release a new version of MSDE? Is there a catch?
I have an application that I have written that uses a sql server database running under MSDE 2000 on a 2003 server.
The application consists of many exe's that may run simultaneously and each of the exe's has a connection to the database.
Example, if I have 50 concurrent users using the system, that could actually be 150 actual connections to the database.
So, how many concurrent connections can the MSDE handle?
thanks

Does someone have a guide or a link to a guide to allow remote connections from a default install?
Just that I'm currently testing my setup on a work laptop but not having much success but thats probably down to the network admins limiting me far too much on here.
However I am getting a new DELL machine, which I'm gonna make sure the network admins get no where near. Once I have this machine I will be forwarding port 1433 to the machine, but need to know what other changes I need to make to allow my friend access to the machine as well.
So I'd need to know what server settings I need to change and also what my friend needs to do as a client.
thanks in advance!

Hi folks,Perhaps every 100 calls to DB i get 1 error message like this:"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 am using SQL 2000 and am wondering why this happens.I appreciate your help.Leo.

I'm using VS2005 and SQL Server Management Studio Express.When I upload the page to the remote server, I get the connection error indicated above.To further troubleshoot the issue, I created a simple test page with the connection string hardcoded in the code-behind and binded to a dropdownlist using the following code:SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xx;network=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=TechCenter;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=xxxxx;Password=xxxxxrx;Asynchronous Processing=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=True");

I have a need to connect to a remote (i.e. database on the clients site) SQL Server database from a live application. It is relatively easy under Oracle, but I havent tried to do to an SQL Server. Has anyone done this? The remote SQL Server database in question is 6.5
You can set up odbc connections to remote clients (99% sure on this) so you could go this way. You can also connect directly to a sql box through an IP address in sql7, but I am not too sure how it is with 6.5.
Hi All,
I installed full version of SqlServer 2005. Iam able to Connect to all the systems that are in Intranet. But iam not able to Connect to the external systems (or) remote Connections. I followed all the steps that are in the following URL support.microsoft.com/kb/914277
Still iam getting the problem. Show me a way in this issue.

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,

Hello,
In SQL Server 2005 configuration tools, is there a way to set SQL Server to remote connections and to set the TCP Port through c# code?
Thanks for your help.
I am running a standalone WinXP SP2 system with VS 8 and SS 5 Express on it. I have been working very nicely with VB and SSCE, but I want to learn to use Sql Server 5 Express, which I also have on my system from a prior install of VS 5. I am strictly doing this as a learning experience on my own.
I have been trying to install the NW sample database into SS 5 Ex, but it is obviously not configured properly, because I am getting errors stating that the scripts cannot install because they cannot establish a remote connection to SS. So I looked up the FAQ item here on setting up for remote connections (which I am not even sure applies for a standalone system like mine). Anyway, I followed the instructions in the FAQ, using the SAC util to configure for remote connections, but it does not work. Every time I try to start the DB engine, it fails with the following message:
When trying to start Database Engine when configuiriung for remote connections in SAC:
"TITLE: Surface Area Configuration
------------------------------
The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion, you need
administrator privileges to be able to start/stop this service. (SQLSAC)
Now, I am the admin user on the PC but OK, so I selected the SAC option to set myself as SSadmin, even though this option is supposedly only for Vista users according to the dialog. Anyway, it does not allow me to set myself as SSAdmin, it returns the following error:
When trying to add myself to SQLSAC, even though it is for Vista:
"TITLE: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
------------------------------
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)
For help, click:
http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtI
D=2&LinkId=20476"
(which help link is no help BTW, because it is not valid). And the setting does not get set, because the next time I open that dialog, I am back to being a non-admin user.
So what is the solution here? Am I going to be able to use SS 5 Ex on my PC? No matter which connection option I select, either local only, or for any of the remote options, I cannot get it to work. Am I supposed to reboot my PC after changing a setting? Or is it just not possible to run SS 5 Ex on a standalone PC like mine?
Or worse, are there a bunch of other configuration settings I must change as well? I note that, when I look in the SS Config Manager at the properties for SS Express, I see that it shows the logon option that uses the built-in account "Network Service"rather than Local System or Local Service; is that correct? BTW the browser is always running in all this.
As you may gather, I know zip nada about SS, but I am an experienced VB/VBA/VC+/FP programmer of many years, did desktop Access databases w/VB6 frontends for a lot of customers, so I am familiar with DB design etc. I just know next to nothing about backend stuff like this, other than a little with BTrieve years ago.
Any help appreciated

I am having trouble with Report Manager. It seems that every day or every other day we get this 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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No such host is known.) 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."
To fix this we open the Surface Area Configuration for the server that hosts the Reporting Database and stop and restart the database engine then open up the Surface Area Configuration for the server that hosts the Report Manger database and stop and restart that database engine along with the Reporting Services Browser.
This actually may not be the exact order that we do the stop/starts because we have tried so many different combinations (ie. stop one then start another then restart that one, etc.). Anyway, we usually keep on stoping and restarting until we can get back into Report Manager without getting the error message from above.
Does anyone have any insight as to what this could be??

I have recieved this error and i have changed the surface area configuration to allow remote connections but it still won't allow them after i start and restart the server service. is there any way to fix this i have reinstalled several times and that has not yet fixed the problem either.
Hi all
This question has probably been asked a few times on the forum but none of the answers work for my situation.
I recently installed SQL Server 2005.
When trying to connect to my server, locally, using Management studio, 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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53).
I have already enabled remote connections in the Surface Area Configuration, using TCP/IP and pipes.
I created exceptions in the Firewall and started the Server Browser service.
Please help
Thanks
I downloaded VS studio express, and created a personal website using the wizard to test drive the thing. When I hit ctr + f5 to run the sample provided, then I get this 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) "
I tried disabling the firewall (Norton's firewall because Windows is disable always). Any suggestions? This is a brand-new machine, running XP sp2, just downloaded the VS studio express.
I really appreciate your inputs.

Hi,
I'm without a clue when it comes to SQL and how to secure it!
I've set up a SQLExpress running on a dedicated server on the web and I'm using TCP/IP remote connection to connect to the DB from a the web server running the ASP .
Would it be better using named pipes?
Also is there some way I can additionally authenticate a connection based on IP numbers?
I would really appreciate some advice thanks.
Hi,
Attempting to open a new database engine from a Windows 2003
R2 server (x64) which is
running SQL Server 2005 to my desktop PC (XP Pro) which is running SQL 2005 developer
edition.
I€™ve opened up TCP/IP and named pipes and enabled all protocols
within surface area configuration and server
configuration manager but get this€¦
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the

- A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly

this is the error message i get and i don't know how to correct it. i have tried going into surface area configuration and setting it allow remote connections but that hasn't changed anything. i am at a loss for how to correct this situation.
when i try to add a new data connection from within Visual basic or C#, i get a 'provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error number 26 - error locating server/instance specified.
i have tried to allow remote connections through the sql configuration manager and the surface area configuration.
I've got the following error from running my aspx webpages, trying to communicate to the MSSQL 2005 database.

I've see and read a lot of chatter on the forum on the topic, but didn't find my solution. I have done a number of things, all of which didn't shake the error.
1) I went into SQL Server Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections, and set Remote Connections to Local and Remote Connections, using TCP/IP only
2) Disabled Firewall
3) Made exceptions throught the Firewall for SQL Server and SQL Browser
Any other suggestions, thanks in advance.

Hello,
I am getting this error with a web service trying to fill a strongly-typed dataset stored in another project that the web service has connection to. I keep 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
I set it to allow TCP/IP only, TCP/IP and Named Pipes, and Named Pipes only remote connections allowed. But it still doesn't work. I don't understand what the problem may be. I stopped and started the database engine service every time (this is a SQL Express database attached to the server, by the way).
Any insight would be helpful, Thanks.

I have SQL Server 2005 express loaded on my webserver and I have loaded
