  • Take a look at this link hope this will help you out: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2486610/how-to-connect-to-sql-server-from-another-computer

  • I strongly recommend you don't leave that SQL Server accessible from the internet. Set up VPNs so that you can connect securely and ensure that random computers on the internet can't connect to your SQL instance, unless you want it to be hammered by automated connection attempts from China and eastern Europe.

  • I can connect to server via VPN but cann't conecct to SQL Server via VPN.

    can you help me how can i connect to SQL via VPN?

    Thanks

  • Speak to your network admin, or whoever set the VPN up. It's not something that random people on the internet are going to be able to fix for you.

  • i am admin of server , when i connect to VPN after it i setup ODBC then SQL Server but not find server to setup.

  • Then you're going to have to sit and debug the network connectivity. It's probably closed ports on a firewall or similar, which is why it's going to need a local network admin to help fix.

    Then you're going to have to sit and debug the network connectivity. It's probably closed ports on a firewall or similar, which is why it's going to need a local network admin to help fix.

    And if you're trying to connect to another computer / server on a different network, you'll also need someone over there to troubleshoot with you. The problem may exist on both ends. You'll find it hard to solve this on your own, especially if the different network is in a different geographical location.

  • In reading the replies, not sure if you are building an internet application or attempting to connect via a VPN. Your scenario isn't clear. If it's as simple as building and internet application against it, then your code should only need a connection string. What is the Use Case?

    Launch SSMS from the other computer.

    Specify the SQL Server Instance Name.

    Huh.

    You know, the rest of us assumed this was a cross-network connection. None of us read it as "connect desktop to server" like you did. Now that I go back and re-read the OP, I'm wondering if that's what (s)he actually meant.

    dukanif, what exactly are you trying to do? Establish a connection from a desktop to the server? Or connect multiple servers together? Or what?

    If the first option, do as WelshCorgi suggested. If it errors out on a remote connection error, then you'll need to update the server config settings to allow remote connections.

    If the later options, please clarify how you're trying to connect so we can better assist you.

  • I'm sorry. But again, I don't understand your need.

    - Are you building an application to connect to your database?

    - Are you trying to connect to it from an application?

    - Are you trying to administer it via SQL Server Management Services (build databases, etc)?

    - Are you a programmer?

    - When you installed it, did you use the default instance or create a named instance? If you used a default instance, then you would use the server name and your credentials via SSMS.

    There are more questions. But, I'll stop here.

    Tim, the OP has not responded to any of our posts.

  • The ODBC connection/Access client has to be on the workstation that you VPN into.
