Named Pipes Vs Tcp/ip

Oct 20, 1999

Sorry I forgot to attach the error messages.

This is the message when the script crashes...

DB-Library: Unexpected EOF from SQL Server. Connection broken.
Net-Library error 109: ConnectionCheckForData (PeekNamedPipe()).

DB-Library Process Dead - Connection Broken



This is the message when I try to connect to the server using tcp/ip sockets...

A connection could not be established to SERVERNAME - [DB-Library]Unable to connect SQL Server is unavailable or does not
exist. General network error.

Named Pipes Vs Tcp/ip

Oct 20, 1999

I am trying to run a sql script that was written by a third party to set up the tables and stored procedures of a 6.5 database. The script crashes
about half way through. The error looks like this...

The vendor said that I needed to change the client configuration to tcp/ip sockets instead of the named pipes that I was using. When I change
this setting I can no longer connect to the server through enterprise manager. The error message is...

I am not sure if the db-library is not set up correctly for the server or why it will not connect through the tcp/ip socket. I ran the ping command
from the command line and it returns a valid connection to the server. This doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

Does anyone have any experience with this problem or suggestions of something to try to fix this problem. Any ideas would be great. Thanks.

Hi Everybody,

Can anyone tell me what are named pipes? and what is a TCP/IP net library? Do these libraries work together or only one can be used at a time?

Thanx in advance.

SQL Using Named Pipes Not TCP/IP

Apr 20, 2005

All - I have 2 SQL2K clusters, both have local applications and replication. The first cluster uses TCP/IP for all its connections when looking at SQL Management processes. The second is still using named pipes for all connections. How do I set or configure the second cluster to use TCP/IP on local connections and replication? Thanks.

In your experience and all things being equal, is connectivity using named pipes faster, slower, or the same as tcp/ip?

Named Pipes Error

I'm working on an insert into a database and I barrowed this code stright from Microsoft, changing the info I need. I keep getting an 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)" This is the same connection string that I use for querying the database without a problem.

Named Pipes Under Alias

Feb 17, 2004

I have a SQLSERVER INSTANCE A, to which I want to connect from a Client as TEST, using the SQL Server alias functionality under the client network utility program. The alias is working fine with the TCPIP connection but it fails when I try to connect to the SQL Server using the named pipes. In my case I'm trying to connect to a named instance of SQL Server 2000 using the following pipe: \servernamepipemssql$instancenamesqlquery

Named Pipes Question

Aug 14, 2007

i have to admit I am not that familiar with named pipes, but i do have an issue with them that I would like to understand a bit better.

I installed the SQL 2005 express version on a machine and using a express manager i tried connecting to the instance i just installed. However i was getting an error message referencing the NAMED PIPES. after hours of trying to figure out what the problem was i found that using the SQL Server COnfiguration Manager, under the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration there is a node called Protocols for SQLEXPRESS. there are four protocols, one of which is the NAMED PIPES. Under the properties for this protocol there is the PIPE NAME which is what i had to change to "\.pipesqlquery". the default was longer and if i remember it correctly it was something like "\.pipeMSSQLSERVEREXPRESSsqlquery".

Once i made that change i was able to connect. Can somebody please explain to me what I have done (i can't find the article that lead me to this) and if there is any way to make this change in some sort of a script or something.
reason being is that I have an VB app that deploys the SQL 2005 express version as well and i would like to eliminate this step from the user to configure before using the app.

many thanx

Disabling Named Pipes

In the process of doing some routine monitoring/clean-up we'vediscovered that several (many?) users are apparently set to access ourSQL Server 2000 database instances via the Named Pipes protocol. Inreadings and recommendations we've decided that our WAN would be bestserved if we use the less "chatty" TCP/IP.As such we've also decided to try to enforce this decision to useTCP/IP exclusively using the domain login script used by all of ourend-users.Question: does anyone know what registry entries are created/used toindicate that TCP/IP is enabled and is the default protocol for SQLServer 2000? Our environment is: XP Pro SP2 and SQL Server 2000(typically SP3).TIAGlenn - newbie DBA

SQL Says Named Pipes Not Enabled But It IS

Apr 4, 2007

Hi,



I'm using bcp and sqlcmd against SQL 2005 engine. They both work fine for long periods of time, but every few days they stop working with an error something like this:



A connection could not be establed - actively refused - this might be because remote connections are not allowed or the named pipes protocol is not enabled.



The thing is, remote connections ARE allowed, and named pipes ARE enabled. I have to recycle the SQL serverice to make it start working again.



Here are the commands that stop working.



sqlcmd -Ulowcostbuy -Plcb01 -S127.0.0.1 -id:homeWeBuysql runcate_bid_request.sql


bcp low_cost_buy..bid_request in d:homeWeBuyuploadunzipped
equest.dat -S127.0.0.1 -Ulowcostbuy -Plcb01 -fd:homeWeBuyformatsid_request_in.fmt -ed:homeWeBuylogid_request_in.err



Another note: sql is listening on port 1737, not the standard 1433 (or whatever it is).



Can anyone please help!? This is a very high profile application; having it die every few days is NOT an option!!

SQL Connection - Named Pipes Error

Hi all,
I've got a little problem.
I'm working on a ASP.NET project. The applications has 4-layers. When I look in the Data Access Layer and test the typed dataset, then the "Preview Data" works fine. I see the right records from SQL Server 2005.
But when I run the app (default.aspx) in debug-mode, then the system gives 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.

Dns/Wins & Tcp Sockets/named Pipes @ Sql 7

Sep 4, 2001

We would like to use dns entries (CNAME) to create transparency between server infrastructure and logical servernames. So we could physically move databases onto another server and changing the dns entry without reconfiguring all client applications.

Old situation:
- Financeapplication connects to SERVERA (wins) through a .ini file.

New situation:
- Financeapplication connects to finserver.mydomain.be (CNAME)
- finserver.mydomain.be points to servera.mydomain.be (A record) in dns
- servera.mydomain.be is refering to the ip address of SERVERA

We tried to connect and got a 'get_overlapped_results' (clientside) when using a dns name in combination with named pipes. At the server we are getting this error:

Error: 17832, Severity: 18, State: 8
2001-08-24 13:10:16.64 ods Connection opened but invalid login packet(s) sent. Connection closed.

Connecting to the wins name of the server does work! Connecting to the dns name also works when using tcp sockets instead of named pipes.

Though, on some client pc's this does work with named pipes too, but we couldn't find any regularity or logic when it works or when it doesn't (service packs, mdac versions, NT/95/98/2000, ... etc).

We also noticed that integrated security works with tcp sockets when using dns names, but it doesn't when using wins names.

Does anyone have a clue?

Kurt.

Need To Configure SQL Server For TCP/IP & Named Pipes

Feb 23, 1999

I have a question. When my SQL server was originally configured, it was only setup to use named pipes. Now I am needing to setup a P&M server (through Site Server 3.0), but I must have my SQL server to accept tcp/ip network connections. I don't know how to enable named pipes & tcp/ip. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Named Pipes Versus TCP/IP Sockets

Sep 25, 1998

We are having some problems using TCP/IP connection and was wondering what the benefits are to using this versus Named Pipes. The company that provides our software stated that this would improve performance but I do not see it and I am getting a lot of errors connecting. This also locks many of the users and I end up having to stop and start the database to clear the locks because there are so many. Would it be better to place the clients on Multi-protocol. It seems more powerful to use but I wanted to get some feedback from some people that may have dealt with this issue before.

Thanks,

Connectivity Issues (TCP/IP, Named Pipes Etc)

May 15, 2006

Hi all,

little connectivity problem, I hope this hasn't been asked before, I've tried searching and haven't found much sign of it.

We have an app which runs on sales reps laptops using MSDE (or in this particular case SQL 7 Desktop Edition) and uses merge replication to send up orders, pull down products etc. All worked fine untill we set it up for one particular customer who wanted to use their existing SQL 7 install with it and a VPN connection for replication.

The problem is that with the VPN connected nothing (the app, the merge dll or even enterprise manager) could connect to the local instance (but can see the main server across the VPN). It seems to be some kind of funny routing issue whereby the VPN software sends local traffic off across the VPN which has no idea what to do with it. Using the Client Network Utility I've been able to setup an alias for the local machine forcing it to use named pipes, which worked brilliantly allowing access when connected to the VPN and allowing replication to work. Unfortunatly with this enabled the problem now occurs when the laptop is disconnected, nothing can connect to the local instance.

I'm kind of a newbie wrt to managing SQL server, can anyone suggest anything on how I should be setting this up ?

Thanks in advance,
Steve.

Is SQL Server 2005 Still Using Named Pipes ?

Dec 21, 2005

I keep getting errors.  It all started when I enabled named pipes on my SQL Server 2005 server.  Ever since then I've had connection problems up the butt.

Most recently I got this error so does this mean that SQL Server is still trying to use named pipes even if I only have TCP/IP enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager?

Error:

TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------

Cannot connect to BG-SQL2005.

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

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 get this when I try to connect to my DB period and I know the users are setup correctly, even tried both Windows Authentification and SQL authentification, no luck.  It was working happily for a few days it seemed before I enabled named pipes in the SQL Server Configuration Manager.

Named Pipes Provider, Error: 40

Jan 2, 2008

Hi All,

I inherited a web server (I'll refer to as WS1) that is running MS 2003 SP2 with Microsoft SQL Web Data Administrator (I have no clue what version of SQL Server this is? Any idea on how to find it is greatly appreciated, but not necessarily what I'm after in this post). There is a default website (website.com) which resides on the C: drive. This was built with asp. On the default.asp page there is a link to an administrative portion (admin.com). This was built with DotNetNuke (.aspx) and resides on the D: drive. All works fine.

I recently was tasked to set up a new web server (I'll refer to as WS2) with MS 2003 SP2 and SQL Server 2005. I imported the database and websites from WS1 that I needed. Both websites are now on the C: drive. Since WS1 is currently live, I can't use website.com and must use the IP address. No problem...the default website website.com opens fine. I also changed how I call the admin.com site. Since I can't open it as href=admin.com and because I already have a default website, I tried creating a virtual directory under the default site to open it. But I'm getting 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)


Looking through the posts on the web, I'm not sure what to do. I originally thought the problem might be with my web.config. But now I'm not sure. I'm not even close to being a network admin or a dba so keep that in mind when you respond. Here's what I've checked:

1) Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections >> Remote Connections: Local and remote connections is selected with the "Using both TCP/IP and named pipes" option selected.

2) Computer Management >> SQL Server Configuration Manager >> SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration >> Protocols for MYWEBSITE: TCP/IP & Named Pipes are enabled


I can connect to the database via SQL Server Management Studio, so I know the database is up and running.


Also, the original web.config file for the admin.com website looks something like this:

<add key="WebDSN" value="Server=(local);Database=Database1;uid=userid1;pwd=password1;" />
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=Database2;uid=userid2;pwd=password2;" />


Hope I haven't confused you, but I probably have. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Many Thanks,

Network Access Using Named Pipes

Oct 12, 2007



I cannot access my SQL Server 2005 Express using Named Pipes.

I have installed SQL Express 2005 on a Windows 2000 server.
I have enabled Named Pipes and TCIP.
I can connect from an XP Pro machine using MSSMS using both Windows Authentication and SQL Authetication.
I cannot connect to Named Pipes using a Windows 2003 server through IIS connect string. I have tried many variations on the connect string.
The connect string works with another SQL Server 2000 database.


var strConnection = "Provider=sqloledb;Data Source=XXX;Initial Catalog=XXX;User Id=XXX;Password=XXX;Network Library=DBMSSOCN"
or
var strConnection = "Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;User ID=XXX;Password=XXX;Data Source=SQLEXPRESS;Location=XXX;Initial Catalog=XXX"

I cannot connect using the command line from the remote computer. But it does work from the local machine.
osql /S\XXXpipeMSSQL$SQLEXPRESSsqlquery /E
[DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
[DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (Connect()).


Does SQL Express have named pipes disabled for remote access? Can it be turned on? I have enabled it in the Surface Area Configuration.

Please help. I have spent the whole week researching this and trying to get it to work.

.NET 2.0/SQL 2000 Named Pipes Provider, Error: 40

Oct 3, 2007

 I have an app that I've written in .NET 2.0 using SQL 2000 as the back end. It works fine in development but when I move it out to our QA server 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) One of the odd things I notice is that the error message references SQL Server 2005 when that's not installed on our QA box, only SQL 2000 is on it. I've checked the server and TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled. Here is my connection string<add name="myConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=(local);Integrated Security=false;Initial Catalog=TestDatabase;User Id=myUsername;Password=myPassword;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>There's at least one other .NET 2.0 application running on this server that accesses the database so I know that it can work! However, have access to the source code for that application so it's not any help with my troubleshooting. Any thoughts or ideas?

SQL Server 2000 / Named Pipes Error

Oct 3, 2000

I have a simple ASP page calling a COM+ function. The COM+ function is attempting to execute a stored proc on a SQL Server 2000 database. I am getting the following error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005)
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]Specified SQL server not found.

The connection string I am using looks as follows:

driver={SQL Server};server=10.10.1.60;database=eSystem;uid=sa; pwd=;

- I have Named Pipes *disabled* on the SQL Server machine (at 10.10.1.60).
- As you can see, the connection string contains an IP Address and not the name of the SQL machine
- The server running the ASP page can ping the server sitting at 10.10.1.60
- The eSystem database does exist on the SQL machine sitting at 10.10.1.60

I suspect my error has to do with Named Pipes being used and I don't want to use Named Pipes. Could someone help me?

Thanks very much.

SQL Server Not Found When Named Pipes Net-Lib Selected

We had a crash of SQL server this week, everything came up fine, with the exception, SQL EM would no longer connect to SQL Server via named Pipes Library. SQL Server [DB-Library] Not found or Server does not exist.

Client Applications are able access the DB, ISQL /w acesses and runs SP's fine
DBCC CHECKDB returned no errors. I have to Reporting funtions that utilze Crystal Reports to connect to the DB. I am unable to do that n=now. This really is causing major problems. Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have already tryed Client Config. and adding the TCP/IP in the Advanced Tab wih Named pipes identified as "." and "(local)" [without quotes]. this did not work either.

If I have a corrupt Dll, can I reload it, or do I need to reload SQL Server, and rebuild databases from Datadumps?
