Replication Connection Problems

  • I am setting up replication between Server A and Server B cross WAN.

    Server A is running SQL Server 2005 and Server B run SQL Server 2000.

    1. Testing network connection both servers 

    2. Setup alias both servers.

    When I try to bring Server B in Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio.

    I got the error of:

    "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding. (Microsoft SQL Server)."

    I am research and try to find solutions.  Did anyone aware of this problems?

    Thank you.

  • Are you able ping both server from one to another?

    Why are you creating alias? You mean linked server?

    Are you able to connect remote server with QA?

  • In SQL Server 2005, I create the alias in SQL Native Client Configuration.

    And, in SQL Server 2000, I create the alias in  SQL Server Client Network Utility.

    Both servers can communications.

    Thanks

  • We you create alias they can't communicate with each other...

    First check you can access the remote server from Query Analyzer.

    Check the following article...
