Re: provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a c



Hi Sue,

I have tried connecting to Sql Management Studio and it worked pretty much
fine. But suddenly, since yesterday, when i was trying to connect i get the
following error.

An error has occurred 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 a connection to
SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)


when is use object explorer to connect to other server, it works pretty much
fine, if i am trying to connect to the actual server i have this issue.

Hello.

I have a sql server install / database on the web server. Work great,
all my asp.net 2.0 code on that server can access the database with no
problem.


I can access the database on the web server from my development
machine through sql authentication from the sql server client with no
problem.

However, if I attempt to access the database over the network from my
dev box through ado.net (asp.net/vb.net) using that same user I get
the following errror.

The wierd thing is from Visual Studio. net 2005 on my dev box, i am
able to create a connection to that web servers database and query the
data using the same user.

Here's my connection string in the web.config:


web.config:

<add name="PKBConnectionString" connectionString=
"Data Source=192.168.xx.xx Catalog=xxx;Persist Security Info=True;
User ID=xxx;Password=xxxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>


class:

Sub New()
p_cnn = New
SqlConnection(ConfigurationManager.ConnectionStrings("xxxConnectionString").ConnectionString)
p_cnn.Open() ' where the code is failing.
End Sub

Thanks for any help or information.
