Hi,

Do the below:-

1. Create Alias to SQL server from your machine using CLIEN NETWORK UTILITY,
specifying TCP/IP as protocol, IP Address and Port number.

2. After creating the Alias use this server name to connect to SQL Server.

How to check the port is working, execute below from command prompt of ur
machine - provide ip address of SQL Server machine

TELNET ipaddress portnumber

eg:

TELNET 10.10.2.33 1433

The error 10061 means that the connection was refused. This usually means :

1.) the server isn't listening on TCP/IP. Check the SQL Errorlog to verify
this.
or run : netstat -an from a DOS prompt to verify that the server is
listening on 1433.

2.) your client is connecting to the wrong server. Could be a WINS or DNS
issue. So, your client may be connecting to another computer that is not
running SQL. SQL is a Winsock application, so it needs to be listening on
a socket for the client to establish the connection.

Hi,

I've got the same problem. I was trying to connect from win2000 server
to NT4.0 server with ODBC. First this didn't work and got this message :
SQL Server
does not exist or access denied.

After that I changed both administrater accounts to the same password
and then I could connect to the database.

But..I need to connect to the database with an ASP.NET webpage. And from
the web I still get the message : SQL Server does not exist or access
denied.

The sql server is set to accept both windows and sql accounts.

Does anybody have a solution for this ?

Greetings,
Tom
