When I initially downloaded SQL Server Express the System tables were visible using SQL Server Management Studio Express. I was able to create a new database and define and populate a couple of small tables. I then attempted to set up an ODBC SQL Natvie Client connection so that I could print the table contents using Crystal Reports. That failed with the following error message:
"An error 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 setting SQL Server does not allow remote connections."
I subsequently uninstalled and reinstalled SQL Server Express. Now, I get the following error message whenever I try to connect to the database using SQL Server Management Studio Express. Additionally, the System tables are no longer visible. However, I can access my database via the Server Explorer in VS2005.

First-time poster (and very new to ASP.NET, so please be patient) - I am using VS 2005. I have an ASP.Net 2.0 app that is using Forms Authentication and a Login server control with AspNetSqlMembershipProvider. I have an instance of ASPNETDB.MDF in the App_Data directory on my local machine and all works well (or at least as expected). I used the Copy Web Site function to port the app (including the ASPNETDB.MDF files) to my production platform, where I encounter the error mentioned in the subject line. I have found posts (both here and other forums) that mention enabling TCP/IP using Surface Area Configuartion Utility, SQL Server Browser are exempt from firewall, and a few other things. My production machine does not have SQL SVR 2005 installed nor SQL SVR Express. Do I have to install SQL Server Express onto my production platform in order to resolve this, or is there another means (something in SQL Server 2005 Management Studio on my local machine) that will enable me to do this on the production machine?Also, I have been told that it is possible to use a database on another machine as the data store for authentication. Does anyone know how to do that? This would make the first question moot.Thanks in advance!
I found errors frequently in cluster events at logs as below
"Cluster network interface 'Node1 - 10.X.XXX.1' for cluster node 'Node1' on network 'Cluster Network 1' failed. Run the Validate a Configuration wizard to check your network configuration. If the condition persists, check for hardware or software errors related to the network adapter. Also check for failures in any other network components to which the node is connected such as hubs, switches, or bridges."
How to fix this issues? is it missing any patch OS or cluster side?
Scenario: Private SQL server that has a v6 public facing address. How can I disable the interface over my public address only but keep functionality over the local address?
IP1: 192.0.0.1 Active: Yes
IP2: 2600::5 Active: Yes
IP3: fc2e::5 Active: Yes
When I try to change IP1 and IP2 to Active: No it tells me file is read only.
I execute a pretty big sql query which joins multiple tables and I reviewed indexes on all these tables. I am happy with the result when I run the query using SSMS in the server locally i.e., where my SQL Server database is installed. It takes 4 seconds to get around 17000 records. If I run the same query in a network or from my desktop using SSMS i.e., i connect to the above mentioned SQL Server using SSMS, it takes more than 60 seconds. Not sure how to solve this. If someone could help me, it will be of great help.

We have a Windows 2003 Web Edition server serving a site through IIS. It connects to a Windows 2003 Standard Edition server running SQL 2000 SP3a.
This site receives the following error as seen in the topic: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionRead (recv()).]General network error. Check your network documentation.
We've configured the server network utility to only allow TCP/IP connections. The connection string for the site is as follows:
Any ideas or tips on solving this issue? We've noticed it is due to larger queries as smaller ones do work with no problems.
The servers are behind a BSD box running iptables, has 1433,1434 along with standard web ports wide open. Anything outbound is allowed.
Some further testing via ODBC on the IIS server improved things. No more connection pooling for the SQL Server driver allows for 1/3 of the query to run. Still 2/3s of it doesn't show up, and that general network error message appears.
Hi While running a DTS, many times the error message: "[DBNETLIB][ConnetionWrite (WrapperWrite()).]General network error. Check your network documentation." appears. Does somebody knows why?
I am running the DTS from a computer (not the server where the DTS is stored) and it is connected without any problem when this happens.
My application is running fine, as i can login to it and also able to view pages. But when i open Order management(having 3K records) its give me error,

I have also searched many articles and tried following solutions but nothing working
- connectiontimeout = 0, max pool size = 7500/100, pooling = false
- SSL disabling enforce security false as mentioned in microsoft kb article.
And there's nothing any issue with hardware/firewall as my application's login and other forms are working fine(which use same database with same connection string)

I'm developing a database-driven program using SQL server 2000 and Visual Basic 2005.
Most of the guys say professional programming is doing the validation stuff (such as the constraints and data integrity stuff like" [0-9][1] " and the use of LIKE IN keywords etc.) in the databse itself.
say i did the data validation contraints in SQL server itself. and now i connect the database with the interface made in 2005. and say a person enters some invalid data through the interface. but the error messages are generated by SQL server. how am i to display the SQL server generated error messages in the VB made interface??
PLS HELP ME .. if the question is not clear pls tell so that i can explain it further.

Ok can somebody please explain to me why only 1/2 my project is getting this error. I am working with SQLExpress on a remote windows 2003 box. The sql server has its service running and the browser is also running. The server has been set to allow remote connections and to accept TCP/IP and Named Pipes. Now, the website uses asp.net membership and roles to allow the users to login, which actually works. So I know that there are no errors in that connection string. However, all the data acess code is compliled as a sepeate class library thats referenced in the bin directory. When calling those methods to beind to a control in code, is where i run into this error. The class library connection string in the app.config file is exactly the same as the connection string in the web.config...i have checked permissions as well, im at a loss to the reason why this is not working....its probably something simple, but im not finding it.
On a seperate note - How do i get the remote database to show up in the server explorer on vs2008, i have tried putting in the ip addressinstance name, and a combo of there items, it will not connect. I have a feeling the two issues are connected. Also fyi, on the remote box, I am able to login with the sql studio express, so im not really sure exactly wuts gong on. Both items are really important and i need to be able to use both of them. Thanks, Jeremy
Hello, I have deployed myWebApp on the IIS. All went well now, but the site does not have any connection with the database. I've already done a search on the error 26, which gave me alot of hints about solving the problem.Still I'm gettting this error. I already enabled the remote connections through the sql surface area configuration.Could it have something to do with the fact that I use LINQ? I can't find any connectionstring to modify anywhere ... Help would be appreciated.

I made a simple ASP.NET 2.0 Website that uses memberships, roles, and access to MS SQL Server 2005 database. Everything works fine on my development computer (WinXP Pro). When I deployed this Website on another computer (WinXP Pro) and tried to access the main page from the same computer, I get the error below. I disabled the Windows Firewall (the only one I use), I ensured that SQL Server Browser is Active and Running, and I changed Remote Connections in SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration to use Local and Remote connections for all the components. In my Web.Config I used: <connectionStrings><add name="sqlConnString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|DBdemo.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/></connectionStrings> Any idea why am I getting the following error?

Same files are workign fine in my office with SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition and ASp.net 2.0. on Windows server 2003. I do not get this error. But at home I am facing this problem again and again.
This problem happens on this particular machine and doesn't happen on other machines that I have. And I think this problem belongs to this forum. Because the problem is triggered by a special setting in the connection string. I followed the steps of threads including Xinwei Hong's instruction for fixing this error(26) but has no luck.
The problem occurs when I call SqlConnection.Open().

I'm having an issue when moving my site from my laptop that's running VWD Express and SQL 2005 Express to my production Windows 2003 server running SQL 2005 Standard. The site is a portal site that authenticates to my Active Directory, and uses roles bases in SQL. I can open the site on the laptop and everything works fine and I have no problems. Once I copy the site to the production server and try to access the site, I get the login page fine and try to login. The default page never opens so I'm thinking this must be some type of roles issue. Do I need to do anything with my ASPNETDB.MDF file to make it work with SQL 2005 Standard instead of Express version? I've already made sure that the SQL server is accepting remote connections...what other things do I need to do to my SQL server to ensure proper functioning? Any particular security user I need to be running particular services under? Thanks in advance... MikeD
