I am using MS VB 2005 Express to connect to a DB created in SQL 2005 Express and have not been able to make a connection. I am including answers to questions along with screen shots where it would make it clear, hope they come through. I f anyone has any ideas on what I have not done, or what I have incorrectly done, please let me know. I notice in the log that the database I am trying to connecto to does not show up as started. I don't understand why is doesn't show up, and I don't understand what I would need to do to start it.

Hello everybody I wrote a vb.net win app that uses a mssql 2005 express DB. On my localcomputer everything worked without a problem. Now I wish to deploy my app on a remote computer (that has mssql 2005 express installed), so. I added an app setup project to my project using the vs2005 setup tool, installed the app on the remote computer, and copied the mdf file to the remote computer. I'm able to see the DB through the remote computer mssql manager, But when I try to start the app on the remote computer I get this error massage : A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) my connectionstring (in the config file) looks like that : <connectionStrings> <add name="Info_Manager.My.MySettings.MaxinetConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=DOTAN-XPSQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataMaxinet.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> <add name="Info_Manager.My.MySettings.MaxinetConnectionString1" connectionString="Data Source=DOTAN-XPSQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataMaxinet.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> by the way changing the user instance attribute to "false" didn't help. Does anybody know how to fix this problem.
Every time i reboot my NT Server and the SQL server service starts up. It logs this message to the event Viewer
Severity: 9 Error:10004, OS: 11001 Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does not exist. General network error. Check your documentation.ConnectionOpen (gethostbyname()()).
I don`t have any problem with the databases, all the users are able to connect to server and database without any problems, looks like everything is working at its best. But i am little concerned about this error message.
Everything has been working fine our SQL Server (lets call it Server A) (v2000 under NT 4), however sometime over the weekend it is unable to connect to one of our other SQL Servers (Server B).
In the Event Viewer I found this error: SuperSocket info: Failed to get Exclusive port use(MSAFD Tcpip (TCP/IP)): Error 10013.
Everything on this server appears to be working fine, as in everything can connect to Sever A that needs to, but Server B can't connect to A, nor is it working the other way.
Also, Server A SQL Services run on port 2006, and B is on the standard 1433. Everything has been working with this up until today?
Let me start by saying that, yes we know v6.5 is no longer supported byMicrosoft and that moving to SQL2000 might resolve our problem.Actually the migration to SQL2000 is 1 to 2 months out and in the QAphase now. Unfortunately we need to resolve the current 6.5 issue nowas it heavily impacts a major revenue stream for the company with everyoutage we encounter.The Problem:At least once every 24 hours the SQL Server begins disallowing new userconnections. When this happens the 2 CPUs begin to thrash. About 5minutes later the error log begins to print out the following errormessage: "Unable to connect. The maximum number of '500' configured userconnections are already connected. System Administrator can configure toa higher value with sp_configure." No new connections can be made to theserver; however, the existing connections continue to function normally.We never see anywhere near 500 user connections in the system (it tendsto average around 350 connections). If we begin to disconnect users theserver continues reporting that the maximum number of users isconnected. Eventually running queries thru an open connection will hangand we have to resort to a hard reboot of the server as neither SQLServer will not shutdown nor will the operating system.The Server:Compaq Proliant DL380 with dual 863 MHz. processors (x86 Family 6 Model8 Stepping 3 GenuineIntel), 917,020 KB of physical memory, MicrosoftWindows 2000 Server (Version 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 Build 2195), TotalVirtual Memory 3,138,688 KB, Page File Space 2,221,668 KBSQL Server:Microsoft SQL Server 6.50 - 6.50.479 (Intel X86). Some pertinentconfiguration settings: memory - 244100 (in 2K units), user connections– 500, RA worker threads – 3, max worker threads – 255We found one reference to the above error message in the MicrosoftKnowledge Base and that refers to a condition where the server has 2GBor more of physical memory with 1.5GB assigned to SQL Server. This doesnot pertain to our situation. Have any of you ever encountered thisproblem?I appreciate your insights.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!
I am unable to connect SQL Server Management Studio to any of the databases on my computer. At this stage I am simply starting the Management Studio and asking it to connect to a database I made a few months ago before this connection trouble arose. I'm specifying the server name "BENCHLAP" which is the name of My Computer, using Windows Authentication. The error I 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) The client is local. At least, it is if I understand correctly - the instance of SQL Server is installed on the same machine as the instance of IIS that I intend to use to test my web applications after we have resolved this issue, and the same machine as the one I shall use to view the application on. I can ping the server if i type "ping -a BENCHLAP". It is successful I think it also connects via telnet ok as well, by typing "telnet BENCHLAP 135" All client protocols are enabled, as are the server protocols. Don't know if this is a security risk but I did it to try and solve the problem, to no avail. There are no aliases, according to the Configuration Manager.
The server itself is SQL Server Express 2005, runnning on Windows XP Professional. My anti virus software is AVG. I'm afraid I don't know anything more, and have been researching this error for quite some time now. Is anybody able to help me please? Ben
Cannot someone please help me with following problem. I am trying to create a program to update a sql datbase from.NET 2003. I am doing this by using SQL Server Express 5. The problem is, is that when I run the program and click the button to view the table in SQL Express 5 I keep getting an 'System.NullReferenceException' and the table is not shown. When I look at the debug details it says that 'object reference not set to an instance of an object'. Am not sure where am goin wrong as the connection is opened to the local server in SQL Express and I have created a connection object and initialised it to the address fo the datatable in SQL. Please find below the code I am working on which shows the connection string in question and the table being called in button 6 which causes the exception. Any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks

But I am able to connect to this server using following three other ways:1) Using query analyzer2) I created DSN and performed test connection, it succeded.3) In ASP.NET -> Server Explorer -> Data Connections, I added this connection and test connection also successful.I tried to connect to this server in VB 6.0 using following code Dim conProd As New ADODB.ConnectionconProd.Open "Provider=SQLOLEDB;Data Source=ServerName;Initial Catalog=Database; Timeout=500;", "UserName", "Password" I am able to connect using this above code in VB 6.0 also.But I dont what is happeing in .NET. Please help me. I am using XP and VS .NET 2003
I just installed MSDE but when I try to connect to a database or create a new database I get the following message:"Microsoft ASP.NET Web MatrixUnable to connect to the database.General network error.

I have set up a database in SQL Server 2005 (The express version) and am trying unsucessfully to make a connection to it from MS Visual Web Developer 2005 Express version. I always get the same error: "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this error 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 open a connection to SQL Server)" How can I set up SQL Server to allow remote connections? I am trying to establish a connection from my web page to this database. Is there a user that I need to establish on the SQL Server side?
I upgraded my 6.5 server to 7.0 two days ago running into small problems with the database upgrade wizard. I had some small problems with security which took me some time but was not that difficult once I figured it out. I then proceeded to switch back to 6.5 mode to transfer all the data that had been done that day to my development machine so I could then import it to the SQL 7.0 version. When I was done with the transfer I switched back successfully, started the server successfully, but I was unable to connect. I get the error "Connection could not be established...", so after several attempts to connect and shuting the server down I now am at a loss. The server runs fine in 6.5 mode but it will not connect in 7.0?? Tonight I am going to try to reinstall SP1, if that does not work I am going to try to reinstall SQL 7.0. Any suggestions???
On a fresh installation of SQL Server 6.5, I have opened the EM and registered the server but am unable to connect. I get the error of 'A connection could not be established to [ServerName]- [DB-Library] Unable to connect: SQL Server is unavailable or does not exist. General Network Error. Check your documentation.'
I've tried connecting with all different DB-Lib settings to no avail. Ultimately, I want to use TCP/IP. I am, however, able to connect to other SQL Server boxes from this EM, just not the local server. I am able to stop and start the services from Control Panel and from SQL Service Manager.
Since I haven't been able to log into the local SQL Server, I've registered the server in EM to log in with sa and a blank password. I've already completely uninstalled SQL and reinstalled it to see if that would help. It didn't.
Does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?
Hi, I am connected to SQl server 7.0 thru TCP/IP .when I run Profiler I get a message like this - "[MS ODBC SQL Server Driver]The operation could not be completed b'coz your security context could not be impersonated." I tried using NamedPipes/MultiProtocol N/wLibrary but then also it do not work? Any idea.... TIA Pd
I am running SQL 2000 on Windows 2000 Server. The clients are running different OS ranging from Win 98/NT/2000. Although i am able to connect to the local host, but whenever i try to connect over the network the following error pops up :
unable to connect to server <server name> Server : Msg 11, Level 16, State 1 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Socket]General network error. Check your network documentation.
I checked up the event long on the server and found the following entry:
Event Type: Warning Event Source: MSSQL$NETSDK Event Category: (8) Event ID: 19011 Date: 1/20/2003 Time: 2:12:32 PM User: N/A Computer: <computer name> Description: The description for Event ID ( 19011 ) in Source ( MSSQL$NETSDK ) cannot be found. The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. The following information is part of the event: (SpnRegister) : Error 1355.
May i further clarify that this error started today n till last week end (saturday, i am
stationed in India) there was no problem and the users were able to connect to the server
without any problem. My network engineer feels that its an sql problem and has nothing to do with network related issues.
i would appreciate if anybody could help me out. thanking in advance
recently i made my PC dual boot by installing windows 2000 advanced server. It already had win2000 profesional installed on it. since then i have been unable to connect to sql server running on some other server(called CONTROLS) on the LAN. I am able to access the CONTROLS server thru 'my networkplaces' and able to see all its hsared directories and access htem. but when i open Enterprise manager i cannot connect to CONTROLS. Please help me . i have already wasted 2 days over it.
I have 2 machines JAWS (publisher/distributor) and PSG (subscriber) on trusted domains. MSSQL & SQLExec services of both machines run under the local NT Administrator account
username: Administrator password: XXXX
this NT Administrator account has the same username and password on both machines. Their network protocols are named pipes. After I set up replication following the sql manual, the LogReader, Distribution and Sync tasks all report the error "unable to connect to JAWS". I'm wondering what else I need to do. Any help are greatly appreciated. Thanks,
I am unable to connect to SQL Server using isql_w or enterprise manager. The ODBC settings register successfull and the services show as started. I have tried starting SQL server in single-user mode with minimum config to see if memory is a problem but still cannot connect. The error logs show SQL as having started successfully with no errors. Has anyone got any ideas?
From my Win98SE box with MDAC 2.6sp1, I can't connect to SQL (win2k, sql2k). I've tried everything I know but nothing works.
I always get the following error: Unable to connect to server 192.168.1.2 ODBC: Msg 0, Level 16, State 1 [Microsoft][ODBC Sql Server Driver] Timeout Expired
some additional info... - both computers are in a workgroup, not in a domain. - this is a home network and they're connected via a Linksys cable modem router - another box on this same lan can connect to sql just fine, although it's running win2k. - all boxes have identical DSN, Subnet...settings - I also installed Jet4.0sp1 just in case, but that didn't help either - I'm primarily trying to connect via TCP, although I have tried Named Pipes as well - i can ping both boxes from each other just fine - odbc ping fails
MDAC has worked beautifully for me for the last several years. Did MS change something recently...or is there another problem?
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.

Hello. I am very new to SQL Server. I've tried to look through other posts on the forum but did not find the solution I needed. Please help.
I have SQL Server running on Machine1 which I am able to connect to. What I want to do is connect to this server through a Machine2 that is on my network.
Both Machines run on WindowXP Professional
On the server of Machine1, I have: 1. Under the security tab, I have created a New Login using SQL Server Authentication (general tab), checked all server roles (server roles tab) and checked to permit all databases (in the database access tab) 2. On the server, went to properties -> security tab and allowed for SQL Server and Windows authentication
On Machine2 when I try to register the server of Machine1 through the Register SQL Server Wizard, I am able to see the server. However, when I use the newly created Login Name and password (from step 1 of above). I get a Login Failed for user message. When I try to connect to the server through Query Analyzer I also get an unable to connect to server message (Server: Msg 18456, Level 16, State1)
unable to connect to sqlserver, server not found error ... i typed the right username and password,,, still i am not able to connect to sqlserver ,,also i tried with new sqlserver registration still i am not able to connect to sqlserver

Plz help me here , it is driving me crazy. I am new in SQL Server plz help me out here.
If you place an image of your server on a rebuilt server, rename it andchange the SID. You get an error message “UNABLE TO CONNECT” when youuse the SQL Query analyzer on a desktop computer to connect to theserver (hosting the image). If you add the server (hosting the image)to the Windows2000 server domain/active server and restart the server(hosting the image), you get the following error message: "YOUR SQLSERVER INSTALLATION IS EITHER CORRUPT OR HAS BEEN TAMPERED WITH (UNKNOWNPACKAGE ID). PLEASE RERUN SETUP."Wouldn't you think changing the name, the sid and adding it to a domainwould be enough to access it. I even created a new ODBC connection.*** Sent via Developersdex http://www.developersdex.com ***Don't just participate in USENET...get rewarded for it!

We have an application running with a principal, mirror, and witness. If we bring the principal server down, it looks like failover occurs successfully, but the application is not able to access the database. If we bring the server back (so it is now functioning as the mirror), the application is now able to connect to the database. Why isn€™t the application able to connect without the mirror up? Any suggestions?
I have both the develper and sql express installed on my laptop computer. I also have Sql Express installed on my desktop computer( Did have develper installed but removed thinking the problem was in the install). I can connect via Management console from my Desktop to laptop with out any problems. I see databases etc. I can not connect from my laptop to desktop. I get a login error. From what I can tell, the servers are configed the same on both machines. I checked Firewall settings on both machines, even turned them both off with no results. Every time I try to connect from laptop I get Log in error, and I get "Failure Audit" eror under component services.
I am at a loss as to what is wrong. I am migrating my Database apps to Sql from Access and need to access remotely and locally, as well as do Replication. Any ideas?
Im new to SQL Server so please forgive me if I seem a tad ignorant. Any help is much appreciated.
I have just installed SQL Server 2005 CTP on my machine at home in order to learn more about it. The istallation completed successfully on my home pc under XP Pro w SP2.
I use the machine with Administration priveliges. There is also a local account on the machine I could use, but I never do. No password entry is required.
When I launch Management Studio it gives me the option to connect to a server and lists myself as the only option. When I select this account (the same one that has administration privelidges) it attempts to connects but times out.
I receive an error message saying the server actively refused the connection.
I am a little confused as to the architecture of SQL Server I suspect. I have installed SQL Server on the machine, but it seems to be behaving like a client installation.
If anyone knows of any articles that may help me, or if there is a simple explanation to help get me connected, I would be most greatful.
There is a SQL instance (sql2005) and I am trying to add a new distribution. Replication wazard says:
SQL Server is unable to connect to server 'SERVER1'. (New Publication Wizard)SQL Server is unable to connect to server 'SERVER1'. (New Publication Wizard)
SQL Server replication requires the actual server name to make a connection to the server. Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. Specify the actual server name, 'SERVER1'. (Replication.Utilities)
There is the only local instance of the server on local computer and 'SERVER1' is actual name.
