Very Strange Remote Connection Issues
Feb 28, 2008
Well this has got most of us stracthing our head as not matter what we do we can't connect remotely
But it get's a bit more complex. We have an existing web application running with a local instance of express running fine. However as the server is getting hammered we need to put the new version of the site on a second server. Unfortunately the key contact who use to work on the old system and set it up is no longer avialable. We've been through all the basics and nothing works... our latest attempt was to install a new instance of 2005 as we were not sure what was going on.
So, here is the log for this new clean instance:

The Browser is up and running and we try to connect via SQL Management Studio with the following details:

But get:

How do I know this is not a connectivity/firewall issue? Simple:
1. We stop the SQLExpress instance
2. Setup netcat to listen on that port (nc -l -p 4286)
3. Connect via telnet (telnet SERVERNAME 4286) and type something which then appears printed out on the other end.
Anyway, the Windows Firewall is off and I can't see any other firewalls installed (we did not setup this server).
Btw, if we try and connect to the existing instance we get:

We've also run a network sniff with wireshark and get see the request hitting SQL on the right port... but there is never a response back.
Any ideas? I'm open to anything short of slitting my wrists!!
Many thanks in advanced.

Vendor app (written in VB '05) connects fine building screens that list data from only one record but blows up building 'list' screens that list multiple records. Really strange-it works fine when run locally on the server (Win2K3) and when run from one developer's machine (which has VS 2005 but not SQLExpress) but not from other developer's machines (which have both VS 2005 & SQLExpress) nor from a 'user' machine (which has neither). All have .Net Frameworks 2.0, the developer machines have SQL Management Studio & connect fine via that.
Vendor, of course, says it's a configuration issue so not their problem. I'm trying to figure out what they could be doing differently when building a list screen & therefore why it would fail. Fact that it works locally suggests that the failure is in the remote connection-but fact that it connects on 'single record' screens says that remote connections work. So what would be different about a request to return multiple records and why would it work locally but not remotely?
BTW, Surface Area Configuration Manager won't run-it reports 'localhost does not exist on the network or it cannot be configured remotely'. This is when running the Configuration tool directly on the server.
Any ideas?

I recently switched servers and I'm running into the a really strange remote connection issue.
The server is brand new Windows 2003 fully updated , .NET 2.0 and 3.0 installed, trying remote connection using VS2005 and the full edition of Management Studio. Managment Studio Express is installed on box.
Firewall is not blocking UDP port 1434 or TCP port 1433 or any other normal port, verified with Netstats
First I tried to install SQLExpress Advanced Services as a default instance. The install worked fine with no issues. I enabled remote connections in the surface area config tool and then restarted the service. When I attempted to connect using xx.xx.xx.xxx or xx.xx.xx.xxy on the local machine using TCP or NP with SQL authentication it worked fine. Then I tried to connect from my remote machine and I recieved one of these errors:
Using TCP
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.)
Using NP

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)
Next I contacted my hosting company they recommended that I reinstall which I did this time as a Named Instance did the remote configuration, started the sql browser and got the connections working on the local machine using
.SQLEXPRESS
or xx.xx.xx.xxxSQLEXPRESS or xx.xx.xx.xxySQLEXPRESS
Tried again from my remote machine get the

Any suggestions??

I'm trying to connect to the SharePoint MSDE database from Windows XP
SP2 machine over Ethernet LAN. I was getting server not found or access
denied, until I enabled TCP/IP via svrnetcn.exe. Now, I'm getting
OK
Connection failed:

I just did an netstat -an and I don't see the server listening on 1433.
What am I not doing?
The svrnetcn tool has no effect. I make a change and check the logs,
but nothing happens. What would be causing this?

I am sure I am using the same connection string for all connection.open, and closing all connections as soon as possible… but
When I try to debug my web app with vs, it runs for some time then I get:
The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool. This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached exception
However, if I just access the application normally form the url (not using vs.net) it runs flawlessly.
Has some one had the same problem? i can't debug help!!

Hi guys,
We've been experiencing this strange error from our SQL server for about a month now and i've tried alot of things, visited alot of websites and manufactured a few possible solutions but nothing helps! Its very frustrating.
This is the error i get when i try and expand the server tree:
A connection could not be established to [OurServerName]
Reason: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
ConnectionOpen (Connect())..
Please verify SQL Server is running and check your SQL Server registration properties by clicking on [OurServerName] node) and try again.
What really gets to me is that everything works after i restart the server. Then things will go fine for about a day or two and then the same thing again. This i causing alot of downtime for us. Can anyone please just give me a suggestion? :confused:

Hi
I've got a database in SQL Server 2000 on Windows Server 2003 which appears to be okay from SQL Enterprise Manager and from SQL Query Analyser but which has a problem with one particular table when connected to from a VB DLL using ADO. The queries do either a select or an insert - the latter is via a stored procedure. Once the failure happens, any other queries generate a -2147217871[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Timeout expired.
If I delete the table and recreate it all is well. If I run an integrity check nothing shows up. I've tried deleting the indexes and that made no difference either. SQL Server is patched up to SP4 and ADO is from the MDAC 2.8. VB is version 6 Enterprise with SP6. None of the other databases in the instance exhibit the problem and they're all structured in an identical way. The table is quite large but we've got much larger one's using the same procedures and they don't have a problem. Also, if I restore a backup of the problem database onto another machine the problem shows on the other machine too.
Any ideas anyone?

Hello,I developed a win32 .exe CGI that connects to a clustered SQLServer toreport some data.The software is written with Borland C++Builder.This is the oledb string:Name=Provider=SQLOLEDB;Password=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;UserID=xxxx;Data Source=xxxxx;Initial Catalog=xxxxx;NetworkLibrary=dbmssocnIt suddendly stopped working on my customer network, so I made sometest and I verivied that the problem is on the connection withSQLServer: my test program just opens a connection, closes it andexits, reporting in a log file if the open was successful or failed.If I run the program locally, just launching it, no problem, it works.I can run it mutilple time continuosly and is connects every time.If I run the program through my webserver, as a CGI that's how it issupposed to work (http:\localhostscriptsconnect.exe), it connectsthe first time, and then I have to wait 40 seconds to connect againsuccessfully, or it fails.If I try against MY sqlserver on my laptop or on my network no 40 secproblems, but on my customer network, with THEIR SQLServer , if I tryto connect from their webserver, or from my laptop webserver, I havethis 40sec problem.I analyzed the network traffic, and I discovered that when I run mytest program locally it originates only TCP/IP packets, and SQLServeranswers only with TCP/IP.But when I use it from the webserver as a CGI, it originates an UDPpacket, then SQL answers with another UDP packet, and then theycommunicate over TCP/IP.This when it works: the second time my program continues to send theUDP packet, but it receives no answer, and fails the communication.I can only say that:- we haven't touched the program for months, and it really stoppedworking suddendly, so I suspect that something in my customer netowrkhas changed- I tried many different OLEDB strings, disabling connection poolingand all the services, calling the SQLServer by name or IP...- the problem can't be related to my program, because now is reallyjust an oledb connection testAnyone have an idea?Thank you very much,Mattia

I'm getting "Access denied" error when I try to connect to SSIS from my desktop (Database Engine is fine). I'm a member of sysadmin within SQL, as well as an administrator on the server. I don't have any problem when I log on to the server directly via Remote Desktop and open SSIS.
I went into the surface area config tool, and I see that Database Engine and Analysis Services both expand and have a sub tabs to enable Services and Remote Connections, but Integration Services does not expand to a Remote Connections option, just Services. We're running MSDN Enterprise edition.
Does it matter if all the SQL services are using "Local System" for the logon ? I use an administrative logon on my SQL2000 boxes, and was fiddling with them on the 2005 box yesterday, but it seemed to cause more problems, so they are all Local System for now.
Am I missing something obvious ?

Hi. I'm (very) new to SQL Server. I have run into what seems to be a very common problem, judging by the number of Google hits, but it's not actually in the FAQs here, as far as I can see.
Situation
I installed SQL Server Express with Advanced Services 2005 on my Windows XP Pro laptop, using (with one exception) the default install. The exception was to put the data files on a separate partition (D: ) where I have more free space.
SQL Server Management Studio Express connects happily, and I set up a single data import table.
Issue: bcp Fails to connect to default local instance
I initially tried bcp in output mode, prior to working in earnest on importing my data. However the command line-
bcp MyDatabaseName.dbo.UserProfile out UserProfile.txt -T -c
Fails with the error-
Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
As I understand it, the local instance of SSE is the default, and should use a local (shared memory?) connection. This seems to work for Management Studion Express, but not bcp.
While investigating this problem, I tried enabling remote connections (all types) through the Surface Area Configuration wizard, and found that remote connections using either of:
bcp eSpacePh1.dbo.UserProfile out UserProfile.txt -T -c -S localhostsqlexpress
bcp eSpacePh1.dbo.UserProfile out UserProfile.txt -T -c -S mycomputernamesqlexpress
both work ok.
Extra Info
When starting Management Studio Express, it says something like "Configuring environment for the first time". However it says this every time it is started, not just the first run after installation, does this indicate some configuration data is not being successfully stored?
I have found threads that look similar to my issue-
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=836670&SiteID=1
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3351349&SiteID=1
However these do not relate directly to bcp, and to be honest my knowledge of SSE is slender enough at this stage that i'm unsure if there are really relevant.
Any hints on how to proceed much appreciated.

Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get
The remote connection to the device has been lost.
Please verify the device conection and restart debugging.
I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!
My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

I am attempting to connect to SQL 2005 server. The server and the VS 2005 are on the same computer. I have configured the db so it uses the security for asp. The log in section connects fine and checks for the user. I have combined the old db with the new ASP security. If the user is not found then I open a connection using the open command and check for the user in the old part of the db. The is where I have trouble. I get the message below that the server connect but then won't allow remote connections. I have check the setting and the allow remote connections is checked. Thank in advance if anyone can help.

I am now trying to connect with the correct details to an MS SQL machine.
The machine in question is not local to me and the internal ID is //bobsmachine01.
I know this is a dumb question, but I shall ask it anyway...I am using MS Access 2000's "Upsizing wizard" and it asks me for the machines name - what should I put to connect to it??
I know the IP of the machine and the internal ID for the MS SQL Server.
Any help much appreciated,

How would I connect to remote SQL 2005 database using Management Studio?
The only difference from local DB is that I type IP address instead of server name, right?
I'm getting error:
Testing the registered server failed. Verify the server name, login cridentials, and then click Test again.
Additional information:
An error has occured 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)
I did everything from article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections"(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=914277&SD=tech). SQL Browser enabled. Both TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled. Exceptions in firewall for sqlsrvr.exe and sqlbrowser.exe added.
Did not help.
What else could I check?

Could someone tell me how to remote connect to other server. Everytime when I try to connect to other server, I get an error message. Eventhough I have opened the 1433 port, allow the remote connection using both TCP/IP and named pipes, and open the firewall for connection. The following is the error message

I have researched over and over on how to solve the error code below. I have tried every suggestion under the moon and still get the same error. Please provide some insight. Here is exactly what I have done regarding the remote connection issue:
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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
History:
1. Created a test site on my local machine (using MS Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition) call WebSite8 for test purposes.
2. Simply created a single page to allow users to create an account by dragging and dropping the CreateUserWizard onto the designer screen.
3. Performed some basic formatting (font, theme, etc) on the web control.
4. Ensure that TCP/IP and allow remote connection defaults were changed to allow remote connections.
5. Verfied that the login control worked on my local machine. Everything worked fine. I was able to create two new users and was sent to the "complete" portion of the control.
6. Opened the aspnet_memberships and aspnet_users databases to ensure that the two test accounts were created.....everything good so far.
7. Copied all files from WebSite8 (1. App_Data Folder - includes ASPNETDB.MDF file created by Developer when I dragged and dropped the CreateUserWizard onto the designed sreen, 2. the main asp web page I called createaccount.aspx, and 3. web,config file) via ftp to my test web site hosted by 1and1. My test web site is named something different that WebSite8.
8. I created a test.htm page on the 1and1 web site to link to the createaccount.aspx page which is in the same path as the test.htm.
9. The process let me enter the user name, password, etc but when I hit submit, I get the error listed below.
10. Followed some other research suggestions and verified that ApplicationName in the aspnet_Membership was set to "/". It is.
11. I checked the web.config file and it does not seem that any connection strings were created when I dragged the CreateUserWizard onto the screen. Not sure if this is an error on this control or not or if it is ok as is(?)
I believe there is some sort of issue on the hosted web site where the sql server is not linking to the database on the hosted site and is likely trying to link back to my "local" server......just a feeling.
I have tried everything that I can think of after performing relentless research on this error. I am new to database programming, ASPNET 2.0, SQL, etc but I catch onto things very quickly.

Hi,
I've worked with SQL Server plenty but never in this specific manner. Hoping someone can shed some light.I have a webform on web server A that needs to talk to a SQL server database that web server B accesses via its web application. I do not haveany privelidged access to server B or the sql server it uses (no FTP to webserver, no remote access via Enterprise Manager to the SQL server). The Admin of Server B told me that I can use a DSN connection to talk to the SQL server database that the web app on server B uses. He emailed me the names of the SQL database tables AND a copy of the web.config from server B which shows the DSN implemented like this:<appSettings> <add key="dsn" value="data source=sql3.domainname.net;database=dbname;User Id=dbuserid;password=dbpw;" /> <add key="default_language" value="en" /> <add key="error_email_to" value="someone@domainname.com" /> <add key="baseHref" value="http://www.mysite.com/" /> <add key="website_name" value="$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$" /></appSettings>
I was planning to run my webforms on Server A where I do have FTP, Control Panel, etc.So, I wrote this code into my VB.NET codebehind file.
Dim oODBCConnection As OdbcConnectionDim sConnString As String = _"Driver={SQL Server};" & _"Server=sql3.domainname.net;" & _"Database=dbname;" & _"Uid=dbuserid;" & _"Pwd=dbpw"oODBCConnection = New Odbc.OdbcConnection(sConnString)oODBCConnection.Open()... commands to access data and load something into a control on a webformoODBCConnection.Close()
When I attempt to run the webform in my browser from Server A. I'm getting this error:ERROR [08001] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. ERROR [01000] [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).The error is EXACTLY the same whether I place the appSettings section in server A's web.config or leave them out.I have obvious questions about the error like...Might sql3.domainname.net simply be refusing communication requests that don't come from the Server B domain?Might the sql3.domainname.net be setup so that I need to use another protocol (not tcp/ip)?Might my code need to be changed to support this type of connection (i.e. I didn't code it right)?I spent some time reading http://support.microsoft.com/kb/328306/en-us but I'm at a loss as to what the best course is to take for debugging this.Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

I had made an application which is using SQL Expresss.When I deploy that application on a server where only .Net Framework 2.0 is installed then it gives an error of remote connection.Does that need some prerequisite for SqlExpress or the reason of error is something else.

Hi,i installed sql server express 2005. Everything worked good until yesterday..Indeed, since yesterday and for an unknown reason, i get this error when attempting to login via Management Studio: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 thatunder the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.(provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 28 - Server doesn't support requested protocol) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)Now, i know how to solve this: putting the option 'Remote connections'.But i want to know why i suddenly has to change that option in order to get in Management Studio.Here are the settings:- i login with authentification mode.- The sql browsing service is started- following sql client native protocols are enabled: shared memory, tcp/ip, named pipes- following sqlexpress protocol is enabled: shared memoryRemark: i still can login in with sqlcmd (i mean with remote connections off).Thanks for helpT.
