Not able to connect one server to another server

  • Hi,

    When I try to connect other server from my server I received

    following error:--

    Cannot connect to "SERVER NAME".

    ===================================

    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) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

    -----------------------------

    Please help me to resolve the error.

    With Regards,

    Sunil Kumar

  • Are you using a linked server?

  • Check in SQL Management Studio if you have remote connections enabled on the server you try to connect to:

    - server properties->connections->Allow remote connection to this server

    Also you may need to check remote connection settings in SQl Surface Area Configuration tool.
