Client application can't connect to sql server 2005 express

    Hi!

    I have an application developed on Visual Studio 2008 using webServices and sql Server 2005. After install on a client, with server - windows server 2000 - and sql express 2005, and clients windows xp, some computers can connect to database, but there is one that can not connect during the login. It can connect to webservice ok, but during the login it remains waiting and waiting.. and not logs in.

    Any ideas of what is 'blocking' the connection? I think the firewall could be blocking this access, since the others computers can connect..

    If is firewall, what ports should i open?

    Is Express running, I don't think it is set to start automatically. Also is SQL Browser running? If not it might not be able to find it. Are you referencing the server with the full name servername\instancename?

    Hi Elliott W,

    Thanks for your reply.

    Now, the problem is solved. It was a proxy server that was blocking the access to database server..
