I have been having a problem trying to connect to a SQL Server. I have installed the Developer edition on an MS Small Business edition 2003 server I also installed MS Sql Manager and I was able to create a database and connect to it. The database server is in the same PC. I used the surface configuration to enable remote connections using TCP /IP and pipe lines. My application runs without a problem on my development machine but when I deployed on this server I get the provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid Error. this is my config file setup <connectionStrings> <add name="Diamond_dbConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=192.168.1.104MSSQLSERVER;Initial Catalog=Diamond_db;Integrated Security=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> I have google and yahoo this error I found a lot of information I've tried many of them but still having the problem. I will appreciate your help solving this problem. I have a customer waiting since last week to see this site and I'm still stuck. Tia Charles PS. Below I pasted the complete error info I get.

I created a web Appplication using Visual Web Developer but when a placed the application in the ftp and I tried to register appeared this message: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

My hosting company 1and1 doesn't allow remote connection, is there a string that I can put into my web.config file to get around that? I have tried changing ports 1433 to 1434 etc but nothing seems to work. Please help.....
Developed a website using VS.net 05 which connects to a SQL 2005 server for its data. When I ran the site in VS for testing it works correctly. After I used the copy utility and placed the site files on our web server (seperate from our SQL server) and navigated to the site recieved the error.
Checked and verified that a data connection can be made from the web server to the SQL server Verified that the HTML connection string was correct in the asp files. Verified that SQL Server Browser was running (had to start it) Verified that IIS had NP and TCP/IP enabled.
It would appear that the problem still resides in the application as a data connection could be made from the web server to the SQL server but as this is my first web app launch am wondering if I am missing something else.
I have deployed my ASP .NET 2.0 app (with a SQL Server Express 2005 database located in the App_Data folder) to my production (shared hosting) server. The issue I am having is SQL Network Interfaces error as described at this URL: How to fix SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 http://aquesthosting.com/HowTo/Sql2005/SQLError26.aspx
After requesting the above resolution, my hosting company said: --------------------- The raw data for the database (.mdf file) will not generate the desired results. This database will need to be restored on the SQL server to get the desired and correct results. You will have to upload the backup of the database in order to restore the database on the SQL server. ---------------------
I have never deployed an application with sql server express before, but I was under the impression that I would not have to restore a copy of the database on the server. I have read the post on SQL Server Express and Hosting (http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=2893587&SiteID=1) and see that it is not recommended in a shared hosting environment, but does this mean it won€™t work? This is a really small site where a full-blown sql server db would be overkill.
My question is: is what my hosting company stated true, or are they able to resolve the issue by following the steps found in €œHow to fix SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26€? article?
I am creating my first .net site. You can see what I've got so far at www.palmbeachatpickwick.com. It's hosted on GoDaddy and I am using Visual Web Developer and SS2005Express to develop. Trying to get the membership piece working, and I think I am about half way there, but hit a wall. The db connection works insofar as you can join the site and the new user record is successfully added to the db. The confirmation email is successful. The part that's broken which generates the error: 26 message is the page redirect after clicking on "continue". I also get this error when trying to login. Both my login.aspx and join.aspx pages redirect onsubmit to Default.aspx as follows: After creating an account and clicking continue: ContinueDestinationPageUrl="~/Default.aspx" After logging in: DestinationPageUrl="~/Default.aspx" There's just a few lines of text on the default page. My master page (used by default.aspx) only has a sitemap data source. No sql data sources specified. So not sure why I am getting a sql error. FYI, I've posted the code from my web.config and master page file (minus the xml declaration and connection string username and password) here:http://www.palmbeachatpickwick.com/PalmBeach/webconfig.txt Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Ok can somebody please explain to me why only 1/2 my project is getting this error. I am working with SQLExpress on a remote windows 2003 box. The sql server has its service running and the browser is also running. The server has been set to allow remote connections and to accept TCP/IP and Named Pipes. Now, the website uses asp.net membership and roles to allow the users to login, which actually works. So I know that there are no errors in that connection string. However, all the data acess code is compliled as a sepeate class library thats referenced in the bin directory. When calling those methods to beind to a control in code, is where i run into this error. The class library connection string in the app.config file is exactly the same as the connection string in the web.config...i have checked permissions as well, im at a loss to the reason why this is not working....its probably something simple, but im not finding it.
On a seperate note - How do i get the remote database to show up in the server explorer on vs2008, i have tried putting in the ip addressinstance name, and a combo of there items, it will not connect. I have a feeling the two issues are connected. Also fyi, on the remote box, I am able to login with the sql studio express, so im not really sure exactly wuts gong on. Both items are really important and i need to be able to use both of them. Thanks, Jeremy
Hello, I have deployed myWebApp on the IIS. All went well now, but the site does not have any connection with the database. I've already done a search on the error 26, which gave me alot of hints about solving the problem.Still I'm gettting this error. I already enabled the remote connections through the sql surface area configuration.Could it have something to do with the fact that I use LINQ? I can't find any connectionstring to modify anywhere ... Help would be appreciated.
Hi,I am working with Webparts in ASP.NET and getting following error An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

I made a simple ASP.NET 2.0 Website that uses memberships, roles, and access to MS SQL Server 2005 database. Everything works fine on my development computer (WinXP Pro). When I deployed this Website on another computer (WinXP Pro) and tried to access the main page from the same computer, I get the error below. I disabled the Windows Firewall (the only one I use), I ensured that SQL Server Browser is Active and Running, and I changed Remote Connections in SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration to use Local and Remote connections for all the components. In my Web.Config I used: <connectionStrings><add name="sqlConnString" connectionString="Data Source=.SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|DBdemo.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/></connectionStrings> Any idea why am I getting the following error?

Same files are workign fine in my office with SQL Server 2005 enterprise edition and ASp.net 2.0. on Windows server 2003. I do not get this error. But at home I am facing this problem again and again.
This problem happens on this particular machine and doesn't happen on other machines that I have. And I think this problem belongs to this forum. Because the problem is triggered by a special setting in the connection string. I followed the steps of threads including Xinwei Hong's instruction for fixing this error(26) but has no luck.
The problem occurs when I call SqlConnection.Open().

I'm having an issue when moving my site from my laptop that's running VWD Express and SQL 2005 Express to my production Windows 2003 server running SQL 2005 Standard. The site is a portal site that authenticates to my Active Directory, and uses roles bases in SQL. I can open the site on the laptop and everything works fine and I have no problems. Once I copy the site to the production server and try to access the site, I get the login page fine and try to login. The default page never opens so I'm thinking this must be some type of roles issue. Do I need to do anything with my ASPNETDB.MDF file to make it work with SQL 2005 Standard instead of Express version? I've already made sure that the SQL server is accepting remote connections...what other things do I need to do to my SQL server to ensure proper functioning? Any particular security user I need to be running particular services under? Thanks in advance... MikeD

Can any one suggest the appropirate solution for this problem...
I am converting over from MSDE to SQL Express. My front end program is unable to connect to the database. To troubleshoot, from the remote computer I tried connecting with the management program and I get the Error 26 unable to connect.
Here is what I have done: I made sure that the SQL Server configuration has been changed to allow network connections (both TCP and named pipes). I have disable windows firewall on both machines. I confirmed that I can connect from the remote machined to the server by network browsing. Both machines are running XP Proff. There is no other security software running on either machine.
More Info. when attempting to log on I am using the server authntication, I use "sa" as the user id plus my password.
Goal. The front end of database program connects to the server remotely using a program called Hamachi over the internet. This works without a problem on MSDE. But for now I am simply try to connect using the managment program which lets you browse for other serves. When I do this it shows the remote computer, but not the name of the computer but not the SQL server which I type in like the following: "INTELsql1"
What I have not Done: I have not changed any permissions or added any users to the server, since this does not seem necessary. As stated the user of remote machine can connect to the server and change files.
We are running a software which has a sql database and it runs a data cycle everyday in which it gets data from several other sql servers on our network.
Recently we have starting receiving the following errors during this run;
It finishes most of the queries in the script, but on some (and not always the same tables) it gives the time out error. I am not quit sure where or how to research this problem.
We have a SQL 2005 clustered server (Microsoft Cluster Services) that is queried from 4 IIS6 Windows Server 2003 frontends. Each frontend runs both classic ASP apps connection with SQL Server ODBC and .NET2 apps connecting with System.Data.SqlClient. Ocassionaly we get a string of errors/timeouts opening a connection lasting maybe 2 minutes.
One the classic ASP apps we log one of these two errors:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]General network error. Check your network documentation
or
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Timeout expired on the ADODB.Connection.Open On the .NET2 apps we log Message Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.

I have a problem at pulling data on PDA using Sql Mobile 5 from Sql Server 2000.
It work s for most tables, except for two . Every table of those two has about 1000 records and every record about 150 bytes, so all data is about 150 kbytes.
When I connect to the Sql Server 2000 through LAN, no problem. But when I connect through GPRS - VPN, the error occurs. But, the PDA- phone connection is via Bluetooth and at ping no TimeOut appears, the replies are about 600-700 ms. When connecting with a desktop computer through GPRS no such problem occurs.
So , I don't know what could be the cause: the connection or the Sql Mobile which doesn't retry enough in case of error to transfer all data .
A specialist from the GPRS provider told me to use 3G phone , but , because the GPRS phones have already been bought, this would be a too big investment. So, I don't think this is a good idea in this moment .
I found similar problem on the net and a solution was to use Pooling = False. But , in Sql Mobile there is no pulling parameter available when making the connection string .
