  • Hi,

    Is there a firewall between the client and the database server?

    Are you connecting to the correct machine and instance?

    PSA

  • Hi,

    SQL 2005 has option to block remote connection, make sure that "Allow Remote Connection" is enabled in SAC Tool

  • This problem occurs SQL 2005 onwards., Generally DBA's change the SQL Server permission, i.e. means allow the remote users.

  • Sometimes I get caught by this message when I try to connect to a server on which the SQL Server service has not been started, an easy thing to check, and for me, an easy thing to forget.
