Trouble Connecting To A Remote Server Using SQL Server Express
May 3, 2006
Here is the information that I have... ( ps all information is not the actuall information )
1) URL abc.somehostingcompany.com IP: 211.11.111.1 PORT: 1433 ( NOTE: if I go to a cmd promt and type in ping abc.somehostingcompany.com I get a response )
2) dbname = mydatabase
3) userUid = sa pwd = sa
Inside SQL Server Configuration Manager --> SQL Server Network Configuration --> Protocols for SQLEXPRESS, I enabled TCP/IP and Shared Memory. Inside the properties of TCP / IP, I made sure under the "IP Address" tab that the
IP1: Active = yes
IP1: Enabled = yes
IP1: IP Address = abc.somehostingcompany.com
IP1: TCP Dynamic Ports = 0
IP1: TCP Port = < empty string >
I clicked "OK", and I stopped and started the SQL Server 2005 Services --> SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS). Then I started up SQL Server Brower.
Lastly I go to SQL Server Management Studio Express and try to connect to this remote server and database and I keep getting timeout issues and a message saying that the default settings for SQL Server Express do not allow remote connectioning by default.
Any ideas what I could be doing wrong? Should I use the port number instead of Dynamic Ports? Should I use the real IP address? Does the LOG ON AS under SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) properties need to be updated?
I am trying to connect to a remote sql server 2005. So I have install the Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio Express. When I try to connect I get the error below.
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). Can some one please help. I have even port no 1533 on my pc. Thanks.
Hi. Im trying to get a asp.net web aplication to write data to an sql express server located on another server. However when i try to connect with VS 2008 it says: "Named pipes provider, error 40: - Could not open a connection to SQL server". What do i need to do to get this to work. Do i have to set something in the sql server, and i assume i have to open some ports in my firewall aswell? Any help sugestions would be aprichiated
Hi,I have SQL Server Express Edition. I tried working out some ASP.NET Labs in my local system.

Could anyone help me in solving this issue.
Hi, i am trying to get to my hosting companies database server. Its SQL Sever 2000, but i want to connect through SQL Server Management Studio 2005. The connection is unable to be established, although i have tried all sorts of settings for the connection. I called the hosting company and they told me to connect using the IP address of the name server for my domain. It failed and i called again to check back, and one of the guy told me that u cannot connect to an instance of sql servr 2000 from sql server 2005. Is this true? Please help.
Hello, I'm using Visual Studio 2003 and I need to be able to connect to an SQL Server 2005 Express database on the same machine using ASP.NET pages, but I'm having difficulty getting the pages to make a connection. I'm new to ASP.NET and I'm probably making some totally elemental mistake. I'd appreciate any assistance anyone can offer. I have pasted in part of the codebehind file for a web form (asterisking out the database name) and the error report that appears in the browser when I call the page.using System;using System.Collections;using System.ComponentModel;using System.Data;using System.Data.SqlClient;using System.Drawing;using System.Web;using System.Web.SessionState;using System.Web.UI;using System.Web.UI.WebControls;using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;namespace WebApplication2{ /// <summary> /// Summary description for WebForm1. /// </summary> public class WebForm1 : System.Web.UI.Page { private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { // Put user code to initialize the page here string strConnection="Integrated Security=SSPI;Persist Security Info=False;"; strConnection +="initial catalog = ******;server=WILL-000993DB49\SQLEXPRESS;"; SqlConnection objConnection = new SqlConnection(strConnection); objConnection.Open(); objConnection.Close(); } #region Web Form Designer generated code override protected void OnInit(EventArgs e) { // // CODEGEN: This call is required by the ASP.NET Web Form Designer. // InitializeComponent(); base.OnInit(e); } /// <summary> /// Required method for Designer support - do not modify /// the contents of this method with the code editor. /// </summary> private void InitializeComponent() { this.Load += new System.EventHandler(this.Page_Load); } #endregion }} Server Error in '/WebApplication2' Application.

Hi, I have SBS 2003 installed and have currently been working with Sharepoint. I upgraded to SQL Server 2005 using the methods described in the documentation provided on the SBS CD, which can be found here: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=60500
I followed the document step by step and the installation completed without any problems, however after installation when trying to access a website I created in Sharepoint prior to upgrading I ran into this error: "Unable to connect to database." That error led me to the following Microsoft support article: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823287
I followed all three methods in that article to ensure that the server is running and that it is configured properly, but it didn't change a thing.
Looking in eventvwr I noticed the following:
Failure Audit: Login failed for user 'NT AUTHORITYNETWORK SERVICE'.
Followed by:
Error: #50070: Unable to connect to database
It sounds as if Network Service doens't have the appropriate permissions to access the SQL server, but I defined those permissions in the SQL Server 2005 upgrade following what the upgrade manual provided on the CD told me.
I have been fooling around with this issue for a long time now, does anyone have any ideas?
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.
This is my first post ever so forgive me if this is too basic a question.
I have an Access 2000 database that I'm trying to make into a SQL 2005 Express database. Both databases are on the same machine (I've given up with the networking of this) and, after straightening out several problems I've ran into one I can't seem to fix.
Using the Upsizing Wizard in Access 2000 I try to connect to SQL 2005 Express but I keep getting this error: http://www.paulmauer.com/SQL%20connection%20error.doc
SInce both programs are on the same machine I don't understand what is happening. Any help would be appreciated.
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.

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.

I've got a desktop and a notebook and both are connected to the router. On both I've got Sql Server Express and Sql Server Management Studio Express installed. I need to connect to a remote Sql Server (using user ID and password) which works fine on my desktop, but fails on my notebook: Error:0 and Error: 10060.
I checked all router settings and notebook settings, but I don't know what I am doing wrong. I got myself another notebook and installed Sql Server Express plus Management Studio, which did not work either.
I have recently taken over as webmaster at my company and need help connecting to our remotely hosted SQL server. The company who is hosting it will charge me "support time" to explain how to connect to it.
The database is used to store data and application information for our customer service center. So it is ALL database driven...

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. C:Program FilesMicrosoft.NETSDKv2.0>aspnet_regsql -S *Server -U *Username - P *Password -A all -d *Database nameStart adding the following features: MembershipProfile RoleManagerPersonalization SqlWebEventProvider.................

Hello I wrote a web app (vb.net) with mssql 2005 express edition DB. I created a vs2005 setup project and added it to my app solution. On my local computer it works fine (using IIS 5.1). Now, I'm trying to deploy the app on a remote server (with mssql 2005 express edition installed) but when I try to run my app via the remote server's IIS, I get this Error message: ERROR: Could not connect to database.

Hello everybody! Can anyone tell me what steps i should follow in order to get my web site (which is hosted with a web host in ireland) to connect to yet another server (different country) where SQL Server 2005 will be running? Thank you! - Callam
Hey guys, I am new to the SQL server scene and I am having some trouble connecting to a remote SQL Server with SQL Server Management Studio Express. I have the username, password, IP address, and port necessary to log in but am apparently not plugging them into the correct places. Can anyone at all point me in the right direction or somewhere that I might at least find the answer? I appreciate any help that can be provided.
I have been assigned to make a database in some remote machine.The machine has MSSQL 2005.I need to connect to that remote machine's sql server via my pc using my SQL Management express.I do have that computer's IP address(say,123.456.789.000),and the username and password.But when i try to connect to the server ,I get the following error:

I am a new programmer and dont know much.But i guess the problem is not in my server but in that server to which i am trying to connect.I guess that server has some instance created or it does not allow remote connections.But i am not sure.Is it so?Or is anything wrong in my server.Any ideas?
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.
I've written a piece of database software in Visual Basic (Visual Studio 2005) to use in my office. My office has networked computers all connected to a server (windows server 2003). I have an old-ish version of SQL server on the server computer (version 7). The software works perfectly within the office environment - each computer on the network connects to the SQL server on the server computer and works very efficiently.
I now want to be able to access the database from home by running the software on my home PC. I want the software to somehow connect to SQL server in the office over the internet. Having read many of the threads about remote SQL server connections, I feel totally out of my depth. I vaguely understand that SQL server needs to be somehow configured to receive connections from the 'outside world'. I don't know how to do this. I also don't know what I need to do on the Windows server to allow this to work. I thought I might be able to use the computer's IP address in the connection string, but using IPconfig on the server I only get network IP addresses - the server may be behind a router... How do I get the proper internet address? Once I've set up the server side to work with remote connections, how do I get my software to communicate with that server? Do I just need to change the connection string and that's it? What would the format of the connection string be?
I'm very sorry for asking so many questions in one go! I have ended up a bit frustrated after reading many threads and articles about SQL remote connections - it's all rather advanced and don't understand most of it!
Thank you very much in advance for any help you can provide.

If possible I wnat to avoiding installing the whole server into my local machine as I dont need it. Thanks.
