  • Rejith -

    1. Welcome to the forums!

    2. IF this is a SQL 2000 problem, you may have more luck with responses in the SQL 2000 administration forum, rather than 2005.

    3. IF you are serious about getting good advice, you need to give us a good description of the problem. For instance:

    i. Is the user trying to connect directly, or indirectly to the server?

    ii. Is the user a live end-user or a job running in background?

    iii. How is the connection string being built?

    iv. Why did you change the database context to 'master'? What was the context before?

    v. What is the actual string being used?

    vi. What is the actual error message received? describing a message is not the same thing as providing the actual message.

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 connection.
