Yesterday, at 7 am, I was able to connect to remote databases from Enterprise Manager. Then at 11 am, I started getting "General Network Error" and connections failed. This happened on all my remote databases, so the problem is not the remote server. (I did check.) I have Comcast Broadband cable access to the internet. I can still access the internet, email, and ftp servers, just not the sql port. I rebooted my entire system several times. Today, I took my computer to a friend's house, and was able to successfully connect to the remote databases fom Enterprise Manager, so the problem is not on my computer. (I did check for the sql worm, and downloaded the McAfee Fix program, but it didn't find anything, and confirmed that the Service Pack 3 fixes were in place.)
I also tried connecting directly to my cable modem, but that did not work, so it doesn't seem to be my router or firewall. I contacted Comcast and they are not blocking port 1433. I don't know what else to try. I don't think the problem is on my computer or the software.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated!
I am an application developer with an existing system developer in SQL Server 2005 Express and Visual Studio 2005.
I have installed the system I wrote at a physician's office, and it is working fine on a local computer utilizing XP operating system.
There is a requirement to allow other terminals to connect to this XP terminal to execute the application, so I am exploring possibilities for connecting remotely from the other computers in the physician's office.
I am running Virtual Machine for my client computer.
I modified SQL Server 2005 on my main computer. I enabled both TCP/IP and Named pipes in the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration utility. I also set SQL Server Browser to start automatically.
The local application is successfully connecting with the following connectionstring: Data Source=localhostsqlexpress;Initial Catalog=MedicalDB;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Password=thepassword
I realize that I would have to substitute the server name for localhost before I could connect from the application, but I wanted to first "connect" to the database from my second machine successfully before I began trying to connect from my application. I can Ping the pc that is running sql server express, I am able to "telnet" my pc that is running SQL Server Express.
Both my computers are in the same workgroup and there is no domain.
There are no aliases in my configuration, and there is no encryption on the server.
Ther error message I recieve is:
Cannot connect to DDD
An error has occurred while attempting connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (providor: Named Pipes Providor, Error: 40 Could not open a conneciton to Sql Server) (Microsofi SQL Server, Error: 1326)
hai,
I am working on ASP.NET 2003 with SQLServer2000. My application requires to be connected to the Database which is there in my Headoffice.
My SQLServerName is "MyDBServerTestDB"
Database Name is "WebTO", UserID="******" and Password="******"
My Remote Server IP Address is "192.168.1.2" and its Static IP is "58.93.61.235"
I have specified the Connection string for my Remote Server as
"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Server=58.93.61.235TestDB;UID=******;PWD=******;Database=WebTO"
(or)
"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Server=58.93.61.235TestDB,1433;UID=******;PWD=******;Database=WebTO" (1433 is the Port number of the Remote SQLServer)
but it is giving the error " SQL Server does not exist or access denied".
if i execute the same application at my Headoffice (Remote Server) by changing the Connection string as
"Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Server=192.168.1.2TestDB;UID=******;PWD=******;Database=WebTO"
then, it is working fine.
Can anyone tell me where i went wrong or what i have to specify in my Connection string so that i can access my Remote Database Server.
Thanks in Advance,
Srinivas.
We are in web site development company,Previously we don't have proxy configuration, after implementing Proxy , we have an issue to connect a remote database.
The error pops "A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. Error 53".
I'm setting up a simple SSRS implementation for a non-profit organization, using two servers hosted at a data center. The first server has SQL Server Standard Edition and Reporting Services installed. I've designed and deployed a number of useful reports on this server.
I was hoping to isolate this first server by installing IIS and SSRS on the second server, have users browse from the Internet to that second server (over SSL, of course), and have all reports served up from databases (and, presumably, the report server database) on the first server.
During the installation of SSRS on the second server, however, I'm being prompted to specify the service account. According to the help text:
"Reporting Services. Service accounts are used to configure a report server database connection. Choose a domain user account if you want to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance. If you are using a local report server database, you can use a domain user account or Local System to run the service."
I believe I want to configure SSRS to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance; therefore, it appears that I need to enter a domain user account. The only problem is, neither server belongs to a domain; they are members of a simple two-server workgroup.
Does SSRS, configured to connect to a report server database on a remote SQL Server instance, require a domain? Does what I'm hoping to accomplish require a domain? Creating a two-server domain seems like overkill for this implementation, doesn't it?
I appreciate any comments and suggestions. Thanks!
- When I disable "allow remote connections to this server" from server properties>connection page, I can still remotely connect to the server from SSMS...so what is the impact of enable/disabling it?
- what is the impact of changing the remote query timeout (on the same page) from default value?
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?
how should i change my comnnetion string when i host the website in the server. i am having errors? but in local host its working fine?
View 3 Replies View RelatedHi,
I am responsible for an application that uses the Borland Database Engine to connect clients to the database server - it's called SalesLogix. I am in the process of upgrading the databases in the working environment to SQL 7 from SQL 6.5 and on the whole it has been (relatively) successful, however I have a majorly inconvenient issue with a few client machines. Occasionally, after upgrading the SQL client and having upgraded the database server I cannot make a connection any longer and instead when I try through the BDE I am presented with the message 'General SQL Error' and the BDE error code for a general SQL error, and nothing more. It has only happened on a couple of machines, but with no apparent pattern. The clients can still connect to SQL 6.5 databases as long as the SQL 6.5 client utilities are still installed so I don't know what to think. Any ideas?
Cheers,
Anthony

We are trying to setup a role based security access within our client software so that users have read only access to the database. Right now we are not able to connect to the database. This is a blocking issue for us on the project right now

HiI'm going insane.I have a club starter kit on my local server which is working fine.I have migrated the database to my remote host and seems to have transfered ok.For a brief period I was able to connect to the database remotely, but now I cannot I get the following, even though SQL Server Surface Area Config is set to accept remote connections.An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.

Hi,
I have a sql server that I cannot connect to in Enterprise Manager. I can connect no problem with Query Analyzer, but EM always gives me a "timeout expired" error. I am using tcp/ip, and my network card is configured exactly the same as another server that i can connect to fine. Any ideas? I really need to figure this out. this has nothing to do with timeout intervals, or anything like that, as it's all default settings, same as the other database...thanks.
Here's my post from a few minutes ago, thanks for the answer but that's not a fix, and trying to reconnect doesn't help. it never connects. I'm posting again, as otherwise people wouldn't read the older thread once it's replied too

I have a few ASPs that were written to pull from an Access 97 database. Now that we have converted the data over to a SQL database, the ASPs have been changed accordingly. My problem is that I have two ASPs which use an Inner Join between three tables where the main field (in this case it is called "INDEX") is what the pull is based on. When I try to run the ASPs I recieve this error .
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers error '80040e14'
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][SQL Server]Incorrect syntax near the keyword 'INDEX'.
The line that it identifies is where the connection is actually opened.
This is only occuring on the ASPs that use the column INDEX and an inner join. The straight style number pulls (which have the same connection string)
are working fine. Any ideas?

Hi all,
I'm currently trying to connect my ASP page with an SQL server 2000 DB. I already know, how to connect with Access, through the the cobnnection object...

Dim objConn
Set objConn = Server.CreateObject ("ADODB.Connection")
objConn.ConnectionString = "DSN=cb_access_db"
'objConn.ConnectionString = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & "DBQ=F:dbCB_database.mdb"
objConn.Open

Hi,
We have a client machine that has Win98. From that they are running VB app that connects SQL 2000 Server.
Here is the code in the registry under
HKEY_CURRENT_USERSOFTWAREVB and VBA Program SettingsAppname folder
for running that application.
Provider=SQLOLEDB.1;Initial Catalog=dbname;Data Source=xxxx;Integrated Security=SSPI
From ODBC the system can connect to the database.
But from SQLOLEDB
It comes back with error:
-2147467259
Unable to connect.
Any ideas?
Thanks,

I cannot (most of the time!!) get ODBC to make a connection to SQL Server 6.5 over the network. I get the following error:
Connection failed:SQLState: '01000' SQL server Error: 1326 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Named Pipes]ConnectionOpen[CreateFile()]. Connection failed:SQLState:'08001' SQLServer Error 1326 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Client unable to establish connection.
I've looked in the SQL Server log and I've found:
"Error 17826, Severity:18, State:0 Unable to set up ListenOn Connection 'My Server Name'; OS Error: 10047"
I can get ODBC to connect from the same machine as SQL Server so it seems to be a network problem. I've tried using TCP/IP, Named Pipes, Multiprotocol, no joy. The network is ok i.e. I can ping and can otherwise find the server on the network. What's wierd is that on occassion I can get ODBC to connect!
Does anyone know what's going on???
Thanks.
