Client connect to SQL SERVER 2000 Razvan Dragomir

sql server connect:
Hello,
I have one SQL Server 2000 that has been installed into a domain,
having allowed "Windows and SQL Server" authentication and using as
connectivity options Named Pipes and TCP/ip - 1433
On every client computer that is also a domain member I can set up
without any problems DSNs (data source names), and connect to the SQL Server.
My problem is on another computer that is not a member of this
domain and on which I can not set any kind of connections to SQL Server, I`ve
tried setting up also a DSN (using an SQL Server account)and connect from
Excel and even install the SQL Server Connectivity Tools, and tried with
Query Analyzer but still I wasnt able to connect to the server.
The error I get is: Unable to connect to the SQL Server: The
server doesn't exist or access denied.
It must be some SQL Server specific settings as the network
connectivity is OK
Any ideas ...?

Thank You,

Try connecting to sql from the non-domain box using QA and an explicit
login. If it works, then try same login and password from your app as
opposed to using windows auth.

Hi,
I tried and it doesnt work (i`ve used a valid SQL Login)...there is
another interesting thing..SQL is set to answer on port 1433 (default), but
if I scan this port from the non-domain workstation it`s like it`s not
opened, but it`s the same if i scan it from inside the domain where it also
doesn`t respond but I can Connect though...

Firewall issue seems most likely culprit. Or TCP/IP isn't enabled as a
network protocol in sql server? Can you connect using QA and explicit ip
address as the server name?

Hi,
Thx for the answers......I don`t have any firewall between the
workstations and the server, I`m using TCP/IP and Named Pipes, and it`s
working to connect with IP address from QA, from inside the domain...I also
don`t have any firewall set for non domain clients...I`m just thinking if by
default Win2k3/SQL Server blocks connections from outside the domain...
