  • Is the SQL Service running? That's 2005's generic 'can't connect' error.

  • Hi,

    Check whether you enabled TCP/IP of your database engine remote connections section.

    Go to SQL Server > Configuration tools > SQL Server 2005 Surface Area configuration

    Click on Surface Area configuration for Services and Connections.

    Go to Remote connections section of your database instance.

    Select option Local and Remote connections.

    Select Using both TCP/IP and named pipes.

    Apply.

    Restart your SQL Server service.

    It should work now.

    cheers,

  • Check whether you have enabled the remote connections..TPC IP & Named pipes.

  • Try giving port number with the connection string.

    Check using the machine name rather than IP Address.

  • Hi RK,

    Alternately you check on which port your SQL Server instance is running. Default port is 1433. For security reasons, usually this port will be changed. So check your server port and add an exception to your local firewall to allow this port.

    cheers,

  • Are you using Windows Authentication? You could try to connect using both domain / sql authentication. If domain auth, make sure the accounts aren't locked out.

    Is this instance in the same domain as the user in case of domain auth?
