SQL 2005 Express Not Connecting Remotely.

Oct 12, 2007

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

Connecting Remotely Using SQL Server Express?

Dec 9, 2006

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).

Error Remotely Connecting To SQL Server Express

Sep 8, 2007

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!

Sql Server 2005 - Problem Connecting Remotely

Jun 8, 2007

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.

Problems Connecting Remotely To Sql Server 2005

Sep 14, 2007

SqlConnection lasConnection = new SqlConnection("user id = sa;" +

"password = 12345; server = Naomi;" +

Connecting To SQL Server 2005 Remotely Via Windows Authentication

Oct 20, 2006

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.

im using sql server 2005 express for my vb.net projects but i can't connect to it using SQL Server Management Studio Express or through my vb.net code. I got a error message: An error has occourred while estabishing 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 already enabled remote connections as suggested by this site http://www.programmingado.net/a-395/SQL-Server-2005-Express-and-remote-connection.aspx.

Documentation To Install Sql 2005 Express Remotely

Jun 23, 2006

Hi all,

I'm just wondering if there is documentation anywhere to help me with installation of SQL 2005 Express on a remote computer. I've set up IIS 6.0 and Windows Server 2003 Web Edition on another computer and am planning to use that for a development server.

Currently I've already installed VWD Express (local computer) and SQL 2005 Express, as well as SQL Query Manager (remote computer). But I seem to be having problems with VWD being able to create databases when i edit the code remotely.

For example when I right-click on "Data Connections" in the "Database Explorer" to create a new database it won't let me. The only way I can do this is to add a connection to a database which I have previously created. And even then there are still problems.

If I set up the database by adding a connection I cannot seem to create stored procedures. The error message I keep getting is "This feature is not supported in Visual Developer".

Is this due to wrong settings whilst installing SQL Express? Or am I just not configuring it right?

Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Remotely Register SQL Server 2005 Express In Enterprise Manager

Jul 27, 2006


I have SQL Server 2005 Express installed on a windows server 2003 standard edition. I have configured the windows firewall to allow exceptions for sqlservr.exe and sqlbrowser.exe. I have enabled remote and local connections using tcp/ip & Named Pipes through the Sql Server Surface Area Connection utility. I am able to telnet into the server with: telnet <server ip> <1433>.

Here is the strange part: I am able to connect to the Sql Server remotely from a development machine via Sql Server Management Studio Express, but I am unable to connect to the Sql Server from the same development machine by registering it in Sql Server Enterprise Manager...Is it possible to register SQL Express through Enterprise Manager?

When registering the SQL Express DB in Enterprise Manager I tried both just the (IP Address) of the server and the (IP AddressSQLExpress) as the server/host but I am getting the following errors from enterprise manager:

Just the (IP Address) as the server/host:
Invalid Connection.
ConnectionOpen( Invalid Instance())

(IP AddressSQLEXPRESS) as the server/host:
Sql Server does not exist or access denied. ConnectOpen(Connect()).

Any idea why I can€™t register/mount the instance remotely in Enterprise Manager
but I can in Sql Server Management Studio Express?

Thanks,

Greg

Trouble Connecting Remotely To Sql2005 From Other Machines.

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.

Access Denied When Connecting Remotely Via SSMS

Jan 10, 2006

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)

Connecting To SQL Server 2005 From Visual C# 2005 Express Edition

Sep 29, 2006

I had SQL Server Express Edition installed. I then uninstalled both it and Visual C#. I then installed SQL Server 2005 Developer's Edition and reinstalled Visual C# -- both on the same machine. I can connect to SQL Server 2005 using SQL Server Management Studio. However, Visual C# is a different story. When I try to add a new Data Connection, it defaults the data source to .SQLEXPRESS, which is no longer on my machine. I can select .MSSQLSERVER, but when I click on either OK or Test Connection, I time out with an error message -- error 25 - Connection string is not valid. The connection string that is shown at the bottom of the Advanced dialog box is -- Data Source=.MSSQLSERVER;AttachDbFilename=E:InventoryDataInventory_Data.MDF;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True

Connecting To SQL Server 2005 Express

Feb 15, 2007

I am having major issues connecting to SQL Server 2005 Express from Visual Basic 2005 Express, which I have tried on multiple PCs but to no avail. Can somebody please explain to me what I'm doing wrong?

1) I install SQL Server 2005 Express and Visual Basic 2005 Express (With .NET framework and SQL native client of course)
2) I open SQL Server using Management Studio and going in with windows authentication. It automatically sets the log on name to computernameSQLEXPRESS.
3) I create a new database called Test and add one table to it
4) I go into Visual Basic 2005 and create a new project.
5) I go to the projects application settings (Properties - Settings).
6) I set up a new connection string, choosing SQL server as the conection type and then on the Connection Properties window it asks me to select the mdf file for the database. I choose the file Test.mdf from the directory C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLData
7) I click on Test Connection.

When I do this on two out of the three home PCs I get the error:
Unable to open the physical file "C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf".Operating system error 32: "32 (error not found)".
An attempt to attach an auto-named database for file C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataTest.mdf failed. A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot be opened, or it is located on UNC share.

The third PC gives me a different error:

Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'DAVEDavid'.

I get the same errors when I try to use a connection string inside the code directly. Does anyone have a clue as to why these errors are occuring? Do I need to set up security or something else on the database first, or is there another reason? If anyone can please help me get to the bottom of this or provide a web address where I can get the answer (step by step instructions on how to connect) then I would be most grateful.
