Not able to connect SQL Server 2000 remotely.

  • How are you connecting. Windows or SQL authentication.. Does the user have relevant permissions?

  • Connecting with SQL Authentication.

    Account : sa account and sysadmin account.

  • Try adding an alias woth the port number

    or

    try using the servername:port in QA or your EM registration

  • Did you try using a command line tool instead to connect, like: osql -E -S tcp:servername\instancename?

    Also, under network configuration-->TCP/ip, did you check and see if it is holding the latest IP addresses of the server?

  • Did you try rebooting server?

    Sometimes starting and stopping sql server services wont help.

  • Tried already.

    Added alias with the port, but it still the same issue.

    When i tried using command tool : osql -E -S tcp:servername\instancename , remotely.

    1,

    It trown an error :

    [DBNETLIB]Invalid connection.

    [DBNETLIB]ConnectionOpen (ParseConnectParams()).

    2,

    In the server:

    [SQL Native Client]SQL Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance

    Specified [xFFFFFFFF].

    [SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired

    [SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to

    the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by

    the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote

    connections.

    Here it shows as SQL Server 2005 and the command ran is for 2000 instance with the port of sql 2000.

    Confused !!!

    ____________________________________________________________________________

    Yes

    Under network connections its using latest IP.

    _____________________________________________________________________________

    One small query:

    Under SQL Server Network Utility , instance Port number : 3759

    Under SQL Cleint network Utility TCP/IP : 1433

    and there "enable shared memory protocal" is enabled.

    Any other changes t be done ?

    Am i missing any settings?

  • Dears,

    Finally I found one solution to connect the instance remotely.

    "servername\Instance,portnumber"

    It worked fine.

    Thanks for all of your support.
