I have a simple ASP page calling a COM+ function. The COM+ function is attempting to execute a stored proc on a SQL Server 2000 database. I am getting the following error:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]Specified SQL server not found.
The connection string I am using looks as follows:
- I have Named Pipes *disabled* on the SQL Server machine (at 10.10.1.60).
- As you can see, the connection string contains an IP Address and not the name of the SQL machine
- The server running the ASP page can ping the server sitting at 10.10.1.60
- The eSystem database does exist on the SQL machine sitting at 10.10.1.60
I suspect my error has to do with Named Pipes being used and I don't want to use Named Pipes. Could someone help me?
I have an app that I've written in .NET 2.0 using SQL 2000 as the back end. It works fine in development but when I move it out to our QA server 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) One of the odd things I notice is that the error message references SQL Server 2005 when that's not installed on our QA box, only SQL 2000 is on it. I've checked the server and TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled. Here is my connection string<add name="myConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=false;Initial Catalog=TestDatabase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>There's at least one other .NET 2.0 application running on this server that accesses the database so I know that it can work! However, have access to the source code for that application so it's not any help with my troubleshooting. Any thoughts or ideas?
Facts:1. I am using my account on Godaddy trying to connect to my sql server db.2. I can get into my db using user id and password.3. Godaddy's help file shows this for a connection string: connectstr = "Driver={SQL Server};SERVER=" & db_server & ";DATABASE=" &db_name & ";UID=" & db_username & ";PWD=" & db_userpassword4. My connection string: "Server=whsql-v09.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;uid=dbasolutions;pwd=***;database=DB_87972;" & _ "Trusted_Connection=False providerName=System.Data.SqlClient"{password **** out}5. Get 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) I tried to email Godaddy's help desk with this information. There first response: We do not allow remote connections to our sql server database.There second response was to read the help file!Does anybody have any suggestions? Thanks in advance,bswanson
I have a web application developed in VS.NET 2005 [using C# as code behind]; and it uses SQL Server 2000 Enterprise edition as backend. The application runs fine, though it gives an error on IRREGULAR intervals on SQL data requests. Error Details: 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)
My problem is this: 1) Why does it show an error of SQL 2005, while I use SQL 2000. SQL 2005 is not even installed on the server, though VS.NET 2005 is installed. 2) The error comes only at irregular intervals. Users are able to login properly otherwise. 3) Application starts working again if we do either of the following: (a) Restart IIS (b) Restart application pool (c) Restart server. 4) Named pipes and TCP/IP are added to the "Network Configuration" of the SQL server 2000. 5) Error does not come on any specific page; or any specific code; or at any specific time. 6) We do not have any background service or any other activity happening on the server; and the server hosts only this application, within a single virtual root.
Any thoughts on why is this happening, and how to resolve this?
I get this error when I try and log into my SQL Server 2005 database: "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) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)" Does any one have solutions please reply. thanks & regards Priya.
I'm getting the following error message below from SQL server error log, see below.
And the following error on the web browers: "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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) "
I have see this link (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=192622&SiteID=1) and other links and done the changes they recommend, but it does not give any positive results. I have also in the firewall added named pipes internal and external port 445. I have also in RUN executed "cliconfg.exe" and enable the tcp ip port number 1433 and named pipes "sqlquery". In the sql server configuration manager, have I enabled both tcp/ip and named pipes. The same in the server surface area configuration. I have also enabled remote access.
Still having the same problem??!!?? Iam out of ideas ...
Please need help, thanks in forehand! Nikita

This was originally posted in the SSIS Forum, but a member of the IS team suggested it be moved here. "Most recently I got this error (Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) so does this mean that SQL Server is still trying to use named pipes even if I only have TCP/IP enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager?"
I'm having the same issue, and here's our scenario:
Installed SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition on a machine with WinXP SP2 and enabled remote connections over TCP/IP Installed SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition on a machine with Win2003 SP1 (remote connections over TCP/IP enabled by default) Attempted to 'Copy Database' from Developer Edition TO Standard Edition using 'Detach and Attach' method and recieved the error on the Win2003 machine: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server Attempted to 'Copy Database' from Developer Edition TO Standard Edition using 'SQL Management Objects' method and recieved the error on the Win2003 machine: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server Reinstalled Standard Edition on the Win2003 SP1 machine Checked all the settings on both machines several times, restarted services etc., and read every post I could find referencing the error. Same error Lost my last hair
My configuration is: Vista Home Premium, SQL Server Express and I'm trying to access a database on an instance named AxisSQLServer in a C# application.
As a result of a previous post (SQL Network Interface, error 28), I have selected "Local and Remote, using TCP/IP only" in the Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections.
SQL Server is started. SQL Server Browser is started.
Both programs have been added as exceptions to the firewall (don't understand why I would need to do this since everything is on the same box).
Have turned off McAfee AV.
My connection string reads: string connectionString = "Data Source=localhost;" + "Initial Catalog=AxisSQL;Integrated Security=SSPI"; where AxisSQL is the database I'm trying to read.
I have looked at and followed numerous forums and blogs and always get the same error.
I'm encountering an issue with "Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 windows" and am having problems determining how to fix it due to the environment I'm using. I have two SQL Servers installed on two separate Win2K3 Server boxes, one is SQL Server 2000 and the other is SQL Server 2005. The SQL Server 2000 contains the actual application data. The 2005 database is used only for Reporting Services. I've set up the reports on SSRS such that their datasources hit the 2000 server. This is using SQL Server authentication.
When testing the reports via SSRS (in Visual Studio 2005), the connection to the data works and the reports are generated fine. When I deploy them to the reporting server and launch IE to test locally (still on the 2005 box), I get this "Named Pipes Provider, error 40" issue. I made sure that Named Pipes and TCP were enabled and the port set at 1433 (to match that on the 2000 box).
Now I changed the datasource's authentication from SQL Server to Windows authentication. I tested this in SSRS and this works too. When I redeployed the reports with this authentication change, testing the reports via IE locally (on the 2005 box) worked (using Administrator login). Great. Now when I open IE on an external box, i.e. on the 2000 box, and try to test the reports using that server's Administrator login, I get this same error 40 issue. I've been through a few threads describing the error 40, fiddling around with the SQL Server configuration as well as SSRS, to no avail. I have a feeling this error 40 issue has to due with permissions/authentication between the SQL Server boxes but I can't really be sure. Anyone have any ideas on how to troubleshoot my situation. Thanks.

I have merge replication configured over VPN and the replication is failing to connect to the subscriber through Named pipes with the error Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server ......
Actually , I am having issues with Named pipes connection from publisher to subcriber. I have enabled the protocols and also enabled the remote connections using both tcp/ip and named pipes. I have created the client network alias using named pipes
Also, due to security reasons only few ports have been released on the subscriber. Please provide me some information on the following. 1) Does any port specifically be released for listening on named pipes? i am able to connect using tcpip with out any issues as 1433 has been released. 2) How to configure the replciation to use tcpip and not named pipes (guess by default it will use named pipes)?

I inherited a web server (I'll refer to as WS1) that is running MS 2003 SP2 with Microsoft SQL Web Data Administrator (I have no clue what version of SQL Server this is? Any idea on how to find it is greatly appreciated, but not necessarily what I'm after in this post). There is a default website (website.com) which resides on the C: drive. This was built with asp. On the default.asp page there is a link to an administrative portion (admin.com). This was built with DotNetNuke (.aspx) and resides on the D: drive. All works fine.
I recently was tasked to set up a new web server (I'll refer to as WS2) with MS 2003 SP2 and SQL Server 2005. I imported the database and websites from WS1 that I needed. Both websites are now on the C: drive. Since WS1 is currently live, I can't use website.com and must use the IP address. No problem...the default website website.com opens fine. I also changed how I call the admin.com site. Since I can't open it as href=admin.com and because I already have a default website, I tried creating a virtual directory under the default site to open it. But I'm getting the following error:

Looking through the posts on the web, I'm not sure what to do. I originally thought the problem might be with my web.config. But now I'm not sure. I'm not even close to being a network admin or a dba so keep that in mind when you respond. Here's what I've checked:
1) Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections >> Remote Connections: Local and remote connections is selected with the "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes" option selected.
2) Computer Management >> SQL Server Configuration Manager >> SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration >> Protocols for MYWEBSITE: TCP/IP & Named Pipes are enabled
I can connect to the database via SQL Server Management Studio, so I know the database is up and running.
Also, the original web.config file for the admin.com website looks something like this:

Suddenly all of my logins through ODBC DSN are producing the 1326 error. I also cannot reach the server with the Net View tool, but I can Timbuktu or PC Anywhere to the machine and work on it. This just happened today and seems to be a freak occurence.
Could an administrator have disabled the ability of Named Pipes to make a connection?
1) I can connect to SQL Server 2012 named instance from SSMS.
I can launch Power shell in any of the supported data contexts, for example from the named instance.
However when I try to run a query in Power Shell, I get the named pipes error.
2)I can also provide a connection string and connect to the SQL Server Instance form Windows PowerShell after launching SQLPS, the same as in the above. I can open the connection and verify its state, but trying to run a query results in the same error.
I also see that named pipes is enabled in the SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Some of this is the result of some ambiguity in the Windows User Account in Windows 8 computer. Some of this is documented in more detail here: [URL] .....
This link is not directly related to the above problem, but arises out of the ambiguity in the Username retrieval: [URL] ....
Ok so i have spent almost 2 days searching google and have yet to find the answer. Currently I'm getting this error.

There are 2 head end Web servers ( one of which never has any issues ) in an NLB cluster with DFS file sharing of the web root directories and 1 back end database. each server has 3 network cards, 1 is a private connection shared by all 3 servers, 1 is a cluster communication connection between the 2 cluster nodes ( cross over ), and the last one is the Public network ( the one that houses the NLB IP address and each servers public ip address ) all servers are running Windows Server 2003 R2 x64 sp2 ( with current patches ), The version of SQL server is SQL Server 9.0.3042
All versions of the MDAC libraries are the same. After logging in the the problem server will sometimes ( about 50% of the time ) throw this error at a random spot in the page. There are about 10 - 20 tables filled with data from the database. This error can appear after any of these tables has loaded ( this is the frustrating part ) and sometimes it nevergets the error. The other server never has this issue. Currently i have tested by going to the servers IP address ( these are the default sites on each server ) From the server that is failing I have run persistent pings with out packet loss to the SQL server during failure. I have run memtest and received no errors. I really don't know what else there is to check. and as i have stated before. the other head end server never gets these errors ( and is using the same ASP code as the one that is failing. )
Trying to connect to remote server croaktoad.simpli.biz I have SQL 2005 Developer on XP SP2 , I have disabled my windows firewall. I can ping to my server (croaktoad.simpli.biz) and i get no error message. My remote connection using both TCP/IP and named pipes are checkeed. My SQL Server Browser is running as well.
However when I try to connect using Managment Studio or running SQLCMD /Scroaktoad. simpli.biz /E I get the following error message
C:sqlcmd /Scroaktoad.simpli.biz /E HResult 0x52E, Level 16, State 1 Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [1326]. Sqlcmd: Error: 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.. Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired
So I've read all the forums for past 2 days and tried everything, nothing changed Any ideas?
I recently started having trouble with my local SQL Server 8.0 database server. When I try to start it with Enterprise Manager I get the following error:
An error 5 - (Access is denied) occured while performing this service operation on the MSSQLServer service.
Nothing showed up in the SQL Server error logs. If I try to connect to it using the SQL Server Management Studio that came with SQL Server 2005 I get the following (slightly more informative) message:
Cannot connect to (local) ... (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
I'm not sure which log to look at in the MSSQL folders: MSSQL.1, MSSQL.2 or MSSQL.3.
Furthermore, if I manually start the MSSQLSERVER service, then I can connect just fine with the SQL Server 2005 Management Studio but still get the weird error message with SQL Server 8.0 Enterprise Manager.
EDIT : It really works well when you try to execute a MSSQL stored procedure against an MSSQL database rather then an oracle one. I was using the wrong connection string. Idiot
So I am getting this familiar 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)
However the wierd part about it is that I can use SqlDataSources via my aspx code and all works fine. I am trying to build on into a cs plass and that is when I get that error. I have verified that I can connect and use the database. the login functionality works perfectly fine. I can update, delete, select and insert records all over the place. However the code below produces the above error.
We have 4 client machine and 1 server machine, that server have all the sql server 2005 database€™s.
