Configure A Server To Allow Remote Connections?

Nov 3, 2007

I already asked this question at the MSDN forums, but I'm asking it here because I got conflicting answers.

I want to configure my server to allow remote connections. For some unknown reason, I'm unable to do this with the Surface Configuration Tool. My understanding is that I can accomplish this using the sp_configure stored procedure. Is this correct? If so, can someone please give me an example of the correct syntax? BTW, I'm running SQL Server 2005 on winxp pro sp2.

Thanks in advance.

Help With How To Configure SQL Server 2005 To Allow Remote Connections

Nov 14, 2006

Hi there! I've been trying for several days now to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections, apparently, with no luck.
I always have this error message: 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.
I've followed the instructions at this link -> http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=914277&SD=tech, but I have been having the same problems.
I've already adjusted my firewall settings.
What should I do? 
Please help me...

Cannot Configure SQL Server Express 2005 For Remote Connections

Aug 15, 2006

Hello. I have SQLEXPRESS 2005 installed on my laptop running Windows XP Home Edition with SP2. I have an application that can connect to the local instance with no problem. The other day, I tried to configure SQLEXPRESS 2005 for a remote connection from my desktop. To date, I have been unable to figure out how to do this.

I have followed the instructions posted at various locations on the internet, but to no avail. While I can configure SQLEXPRESS 2005 to allow TCP/IP connections, I have been unable to restart the server.

Here is the pertinent snippet from the error log:

<time> Server A self-generated certificate was successfully loaded for encryption.
<time> Server Error: 26024, Severity: 16, State: 1.
2006-08-14 21:02:27.18 Server Server failed to listen on 'any' <ipv4> 0. Error: 0x277a. To proceed, notify your system administrator.
<time> Server Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1.
<time> Server TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x277a, status code 0xa.
<time> Server Error: 17182, Severity: 16, State: 1.
<time> Server TDSSNIClient initialization failed with error 0x277a, status code 0x1.
<time> Server Error: 17826, Severity: 18, State: 3.
<time> Server Could not start the network library because of an internal error in the network library. To determine the cause, review the errors immediately preceding this one in the error log.
<time> Server Error: 17120, Severity: 16, State: 1.
<time> Server SQL Server could not spawn FRunCM thread. Check the SQL Server error log and the Windows event logs for information about possible related problems.

I have a feeling this problem is due to the way my system is configured, not necessarily how my SQLEXPRESS 2005 is configured. My laptop and desktop are connected via a wireless router, and both machines are running Norton Anti-Virus 2006. I've added sqlserver.exe and sqlbrowser.exe to the exceptions list for the Worm protection on the laptop, i.e., the server machine. There's not a setting at the router that would prevent the server from re-starting, is there?

Any help is GREATLY appreciated!

How To Configure Connection String For Remote Server?

Dec 5, 2006

Sorry for the newbie question, but....
I have developed a website on my local development machine. When I create the connections string VS automatically creates a path to my local hard drive inside the string.
Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename="C:Documents and SettingsMikeMy DocumentsVisual Studio 2005WebSitesPostAlertzApp_DataPADatabase.mdf";Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True
However, when I deploy this website to a remote server, SQLExpress tries to attach to the file using the wrong path. How do I fix this?
Your patience is appreciated...

Configure Sql Server 2005 For Remote Hookup?

Nov 15, 2007

Ok. Here is what I need to do: several computers on the intranet need to use a client program to access data from the server (a desktop)

Here is what is going on:

1. I am using Visual Studio 2005 c#.net 2.0
2. Sql Server Express 2005
3. I don't have IIS set up
4. The database is being shared from the c drive on the server (not sophisticated at all, but this is a one man operation!)

Questions:

1. Is IIS an absolute must to make this happen?
2. If not, a user pointed out that I can't use UNF to access the database. How do I set up the connection string to access the db on the server?

This is my basic connection string (local)

connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=C:MonzaDBMonzaDB.mdf;Integrated Security=True;Connect Timeout=30;User Instance=True;Asynchronous Processing=true"

Thanks for any help on this subject. I know basically nothing about NETWORK programming and database administration!

How To Configure Connections

Oct 27, 2015

I've been working on a WinForm application (C#) that connects to a database on an external server. My connection string has always been the following and has always worked:

string strCon = "Data Source=static_ip_address;Initial Catalog=someDatabase;User Id=admin;Password=*****";

The specified credentials are actually the physical server's only and local windows account - admin. Contrary to the fact that specifying a user id and password in the connection string uses SQL Authentication, this is practically Windows Authentication as I haven't configured any roles, logins or users in the database or SQL server instance.

Recently there was a power outage and the server was offline. After going back online, my application can no longer communicate with the server. I even modified the connection string to the following and ran the application on the server itself and it still
won't work:

string strCon = "Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=someDatabase;Integrated Security = True";

There's obviously something wrong with the server that prevents it from accepting any incoming SQL connections; even those originating from it. I am able to ping the server and even remotely access it from a different network but no SQL connections are being established.

SQL Server Does Not Allow Remote Connections

Oct 11, 2006


Hello ,

The problem is that we are having Problem while making the remote Connection to the Sql Server 2005

Basically We are having a problem connecting to SQL2005 through a package remotely. when we try to connect to a remote data base, we get the following error

[Connection manager "CRA LRRS Development DB"] Error: An OLE DB error has occurred. Error code: 0x80004005. An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "Login timeout expired". An OLE DB record is available. Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

Source: "Microsoft SQL Native Client" Hresult: 0x80004005 Description: "SQL Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified [xFFFFFFFF]. ".


Although by running the configuration manager on the Remote DataBase System we have enable the Remote Connections through name and IP both but still it cant access it.

Please tell us the possible consequences and provide us the feedback.

I will be really obliged if any of you can provide us the feedback on it as soon as possible.

SQL Server Does Not Allow Remote Connections

Apr 7, 2008

I am having trouble with Report Manager. It seems that every day or every other day we get this 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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No such host is known.) 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."

To fix this we open the Surface Area Configuration for the server that hosts the Reporting Database and stop and restart the database engine then open up the Surface Area Configuration for the server that hosts the Report Manger database and stop and restart that database engine along with the Reporting Services Browser.

This actually may not be the exact order that we do the stop/starts because we have tried so many different combinations (ie. stop one then start another then restart that one, etc.). Anyway, we usually keep on stoping and restarting until we can get back into Report Manager without getting the error message from above.

Does anyone have any insight as to what this could be??

SQL Server Does Not Allow Remote Connections. (

Dec 8, 2006

Hi,

Attempting to open a new database engine from a Windows 2003
R2 server (x64) which is

running SQL Server 2005 to my desktop PC (XP Pro) which is running SQL 2005 developer
edition.



I€™ve opened up TCP/IP and named pipes and enabled all protocols
within surface area configuration and server

configuration manager but get this€¦



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.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10060)



Is this a red-herring type message? I ask because the text
states €œthis failure may be caused€? and as far as I can see I€™ve open up my

PC to all connections.



Thanks in advance

SQL Server Does Not Allow Remote Connections

Dec 18, 2007

I've got the following error from running my aspx webpages, trying to communicate to the MSSQL 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: Shared Memory Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)


I've see and read a lot of chatter on the forum on the topic, but didn't find my solution. I have done a number of things, all of which didn't shake the error.
1) I went into SQL Server Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections, and set Remote Connections to Local and Remote Connections, using TCP/IP only
2) Disabled Firewall
3) Made exceptions throught the Firewall for SQL Server and SQL Browser


Any other suggestions, thanks in advance.

SQL Server Remote Connections With Web Service

Feb 8, 2007

Hello,
I am getting this error with a web service trying to fill a strongly-typed dataset stored in another project that the web service has connection to.  I keep getting this 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) 
I set it to allow TCP/IP only, TCP/IP and Named Pipes, and Named Pipes only remote connections allowed.  But it still doesn't work.  I don't understand what the problem may be.  I stopped and started the database engine service every time (this is a SQL Express database attached to the server, by the way).
Any insight would be helpful, Thanks.

Sql Server Remote Connections Fail

Nov 26, 2006

i installed sql server express, but i did not select to use mixed mode (the reason being for this that every time i did i got a install coruption error) i want to be able to connect the database remotly using the sqlservers jdbc driver. however i need a user name and password. therefore to do this i believe i need to be able to acess the database remotly.

ive tried everthing:
1. changing the surface area remote conenctions to allow remote connections using tcp and ip only
2. restarted the database
3. restarted the server
4. restarted the browser
5. checked the tcp/ip settings are enabled.

but when i do the follwing in command line i get this:

C:>osql -E
[SQL Native Client]VIA Provider: The specified module could not be found.
[SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
[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.

which indicates that its still not allowing remote conenctions, any ideas?

Hi, I've been trying all day to make connections to SQL server 2005 express work. I have gone throgh the setup of tcp/ip, firewall exceptions, and anything else possible. My problem is that after i have gone through the microsoft support pages.

I can connect to SQL server in VS2005 but i can connect and make changes to databases with SQL Server Management Studio. In VS2005 i try to connect and i get the error System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException

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: Shared Memory Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"


I have to write a program by the end of the week and cannot proceed without SQL Server working proerly. Any replies would be apreciated as i am so fustrated with this problem. I have included the full error stack below if it is required. Contact me for any more details

Regards
Matt

Remote Connections Enabled, But I Still Get Error That Remote Is Not Configured - Sql 2005

Aug 23, 2006

Fellow Devs,
I have an instance of SQL Server Express 2005 running on another box and I have Remote Connections enabled over both TCP/IP and Named Pipes, but on my other box I keep getting the error that the server does not accept Remote Connections.
Any ideas why this might be happening? Is there some other configuration?

Connecting To SQL Server 2005 - Not Allow Remote Connections

Nov 23, 2006

I use ASP.NET 2.0 and VS.NET 2005.
I have the following expression in my code:
string connectionString = "server='localhost'; user id='sa'; password=''; Database='Northwind'";
 When I executed the code I have the following 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)."
The Microsoft Access was successfully connected in the Server Explorer window.
How do I solve this problem?
Thanks,
Andy.

ASP.NET && SQL Server Express Remote Connections Problem

May 3, 2007

Hi,
My Web Aplication read and write into a sql server express database. The database is in one server and the applicacion is running from my laptop.
Everything works well.
But if i publish the web in the same server that the sql server and getting the next 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) 
When am running the application from my laptop i am using the external IP and when I publish it in the same server i am changing the IP for the server name. The most interesting part is that the web can read but when it tries to insert is when am getting this error.
Any clue??' I can select, delete, insert using Microsoft SQl Server management Studio from my laptop, then the sql server accept remote connections.
I do not understand why the ASP.Net application works perfectly when runs from my computer but get this error when is publish in the server.
Any help will be more than appreciate.
Thanks in advance

SQL Server 2000 Enable Remote Connections

Oct 4, 2007

Hi guys
Apologies if this is the wrong place to be posting this but I have posted on a few forums and have not had any usable answers to this question, so I am hoping you guys will be able to help me.
I have 2 servers that are on the same domain. My ASP.NET application is running off the first which has .NET 2.0 installed, and I have an SQL Server 2000 db on the other. Whenever I try to connect 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)
The connection works when I run the project in VS Development Server on my work computer, but as soon as I upload to the server I get this error.
I have scoured Google but all of the sites I come across are for SQL Server 2005 and are just not suitable for solving the issue on 2000.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as I cannot continue my current project until this issue is resolved.
