I have been configuring my website with the following:
I have my domain residing on a webserver with SQL Server 2005, and the database (an sql server 2000 db) which I am connecting to reside on another web.
Now when I try to connect to the to the remote database from SQL Server 2005, it gives me error, something like 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. or maybe 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 am having a problem connecting to SQL2005 through a package remotely. if the db is on the same system , the package is running fine. But when i try to connect to a remote db, i get the following error
Failed to acquire connection "[DBName]". Connection may not be configured correctly or you may not have the right permissions on this connection.
I have already allowed remote connections on the db server using the SQL server surface are configuration utility.

I am having problem with our network. We run a clinic database system that uses SQLServer 2000 Enterprise as the backend, and Microsoft Access on the front end.
I have had a running problem with all our newer machines (which run Windows 2000 or XP) in that while it connects to the server and retrieves some of the info properly, on some of the pages it doesnt. It will take 2 or 3 minutes for a page of the database to load, and even then not all the information will be retrieved properly.
I was able to fix the problem on the Windows 2000 machines by replacing the Sqlsrv32.dll file with an older version (usually with 3.70.06.23). And then the W2000 machines would work. But for some reason, the XP machines wont accept the older sqlsrv32.dll file...it gives me this error: SQLState: 'HY000' SQL Server Error: 126 Unable to load communication module driver correctly.
Hi all,I have to move my SQlServer 2000 instance from one server'actual_server' to another server 'new_server'.But, the different applications connecting to the actual server can'teasily change their connections address. i.e it connect to'actual_server' server only.Is there a risk to declare a DNS alias 'actual_server' pointing to'new_server' ?So I could move my databases from 'actual_server' to 'new_server'.Is the modification transparent to the client ?I especially thinking about wins...TYIACordiallyRJP
Hey, all. I've mainly worked with MySQL databases before. I'm working on an (old) ASP page that uses this connection string:strConnect = "Provider=SQLOLEDB; Data Source=SQL1.MYDBSERVER.NET; Initial Catalog=...; User ID=...; Password=..." It works fine on the production server, but the local copy fails if I try to access the Products page (which uses the database), with this error: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005)[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied./html/products.asp, line 19Similarly, if I plug the connection info into Tools/Connect to Database in Visual Studio, I get: Connection failed:SQLState: '08001' SQL Server Error: 17 [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen(Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. Am I doing something wrong? Do I need more info from the hosting provider to connect remotely? Or is the database not accepting remote connections at all?Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi all, I have an application in asp.net 2.0 and iam trying to connect database which is in remote server(Sql server 2000).But iam getting error as follows: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

I am using SQL Server 2000 database in my VB.Net project. My VB.net application is installed one two machines in different cities i.e. there are two separate databases. First machine's IP address is say 202.33.44.55 and other machine IP address is say 203.33.55.66. Now I want to use each others databases i.e. I want to set their database group. So that in my VB.Net's application which is installed on 202.33.44.55 I could see data of the 203.33.55.66 by just changing the connection string

Hi to all: I always had a problem connecting to SQL Server from home using EM. I do add a new server registration, but i always get the following exception:
A Connection could not be established to IP ADDRESS Reason: SQL Server does not exist or access denied. ConnectionOpen(Connect()) At the same time, I do use a utility, found at http://sql.bhaidar.net to connect to the same database and works perfect. Is there any configuration I should do to my pc, don't know maybe some port configuration or so, to allow EM to connect to those remote databases? Thanks in advance. Regards
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...
i have installed SQL Server Enterprise Manager on my machine, but have no ideas on where to even being trying to connect. I have the name of the server, password....etc. But do not know where to configure a connection.
ALSO, when i install my Enterprise Manager the first options askes me whether i want to create a new instance of SQL server on a local or remote machine....i am guessing my local machine right...??
My hosting provider use Plesk to sell space over the internet and said to me that SQLServer Express is installed on the server.

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. 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 app connectionstring looks like that: <connectionStrings> <add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=localhost;AttachDbFilename=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataMaxinet.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> <add name="MaxinetConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=localhost;AttachDbFilename=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataMaxinet.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> <appSettings> <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=localhost;AttachDbFilename=C:Program FilesMicrosoft SQL ServerMSSQL.1MSSQLDataMaxinet.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=False"></add> Can anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong and how to fix it

Your help is much appreciated.

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
I need to know which are the best ways to connect to a remote SQL SERVER 2000 from inside a VB6 application. By remote I mean on a dedicated server outside my LAN that I can access by IP address.
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.
Hi All, I'm new using sql server 2005 express as the database. Both the development and the database are in same machine as of now.
i use connection string as SqlConnection test = new SqlConnection("server=AMJATHKHAN\SQLEXPRESS;uid='';pwd='';database=TestDB;Trusted_Connection=yes;");
its working fine in my pc. when i try to run the same executable in some other pc in the same lan it wont work..
the sql server express is accessible to all machine in the LAN. then wat is the way to connect the remote sql server.
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:
Cannot connect to 123.456.789.000sqlexpress
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 unser the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connections,(provider: SQL Network Interfaces,error:26-Error Locating Server/Instance specified)(Microsoft SQL Server)
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.
I can connect to a remote SQL server with ADO.NET but not with OLEDB.
I get
------------------------------
Test connection failed because of an error in initializing provider. Login timeout expired 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.
