Re: Please advice

I assume you are talking about a connection string like the following:
"data source = <sql_server_computer_name\instance_name>; initial catalog = <database_name>; uid =<some_username>; pwd = <some_password>"

- Are you working in a domain?
- Are your clients and your SQL Server in the same domain?
- Can they resolve their names? (How about DNS?)

If all of them are in a domain and every component are able to resolve others' names then use my sample connection string. And of course then you better use "integrated security = yes" instead of the "uid and pwd" This is the recommended method to use a system by Microsoft.

Hi Ekrem,

In the webserver (connection string) I am using IPAddress\Instance and in that box I don't have SQL Server 2005 "SQL Native Client Configuration" installed, any idea how I can resolve this IpAddress\Instance name?

Thanks

First of all, be sure that you and ping that machine and then be sure that it can ping yours. Then:

You should use Aliases instead of using IP addresses. You can create an alias for a server from SQL Server Configuration Manager. Go to "SQL Native Client Configuration" node and expand it. On the "Aliases" right click and "New Alias...". Give it a new, a port number, select TCP\IP as protocol and type remote server's IP address into the Address editbox.

And then go to your SSMS and type "<alias_name>\instance_name" and connect.

Hello Rogers,


Go to Start\Programs\Microsoft SQL Server 2005\Configuration Tools\SQL Server Surface Area Configuration. Select your instance and expand it. Go to Remote Connections and check it out if TCP\IP is selected.

After that, Go to Start\Programs\Microsoft SQL Server 2005\Configuration Tools\SQL Server Configuration Manager. Expand SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration. Select your instance and from the right pane, make sure TCP\IP is enabled and configure it from its properties to make your SQL Server to be connectable by your client application or whatever.
