Problem with login to SQL Server from small network users

  • I am trying to add a user on a small network to connect and login to a SQL server on the server host. I am using SQL native client on the client - In stting up th OBDC data source for Native client I get error messages :

    Connection failed

    SQL state 08001

    SQL server error 10060

    then

    Connection failed

    SQL state HYT00

    SQL server error 0

    Then

    SQL state 08001

    SQL server error 10060

    Can anyone understand the failure to connect and login?

    I have set the protocols to TCP

    I would appreciate help

  • Have you successfully setup other machines in the past?

    Are you trying to use Windows Authentication or SQL Authentication?

  • Thanks for the response - I am using Windows Authentication and yes, I have set up machine in the past in this environment with SQL native client

  • What OS is on the client? Is there a firewall enabled?

    Can you ping the SQL server by name and IP address?

    Can you use SQLPing to see the SQL server from the client?
