SQL server does not allow remote connection(SQL express edition)

  • Dear All,

    One of Our server is SQL is express edition and I am able to connect that server but when application team try to connect remotely it throws the following error;.

    An error has occured 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.(provider:Named Pipes Provider,error:40-Could not open connection to SQL Server))

    Regards,

    Satish kumar

  • Verify that named pipes is enabled and that the firewall is either disabled or allowing port 1433
