can not telnet to sqlserver 2000 personal edition

  • Hi,

    i have installed sql 2000 personal edition on win xp, and i can not telnet to the localhost: telnet localhost 1433

    the query analyser works fine.

    Can anyone help me with this problem?

    tnx

  • Different protocol in use, not text.

  • Indeed, but TELNET is a quick and dirty "Is such a port open" test. 

    Check the error log on the SQL server.  It will tell you if TCP is enabled.  On one of my servers, there is a startup message in the error log.

    ...

    SQL server listening on 192.168.1.234: 1434.

    ...

    This tells me that the IP address and TCP port that my SQL instance is using.  In this case, it is port 1434.

    If I telnet to that TCP port, I won't be able to do anything (I don't speak TDS) but I can see if the port is open to me.

    It could be that your SQL server does not have TCP enabled, and that your QA connection is via Named Pipes.

     

     

     

     

  • are you sure you ss2000 has installed sp3 or sp4?
