I am having difficulty connecting to SQL Server 2000 on one of our
servers via a VB6 program on Vista. I can connect fine to a different server, but it gives me the following error with the server in question: "Unable to connect to database. Please check your internet connection Error# -2147467259 [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied" Using the program, I am able to access the database just fine while running on Windows XP, but when I run the program on Vista, it gives me that error message for that server. If I change the connection string to a different server address, it works fine on Vista. What differences in the servers might cause this? Here is my connection string: "driver={SQL Server};Server=ipaddress;Uid=userID;Pwd=pwd;database=db"

Is SQL Server running on port 1433 on both servers? -- Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, esquel@sommarskog.se Books Online for SQL Server 2005 at http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2005/downloads/books.mspx Books Online for SQL Server 2000 at
The SQL Server Config tools will tell you what port(s) have been assigned.
SS 2000 broadcasts and handles the incoming requests and maps to the ports, but if the firewall blocks them... -- ____________________________________ William (Bill) Vaughn Author, Mentor, Consultant, Dad, Grandpa Microsoft MVP INETA Speaker www.betav.com www.betav.com/blog/billva www.hitchhikerguides.net www.betav.com/blog/billva www.betav.com Please reply only to the newsgroup so that others can benefit.

So, there is something different about this particular server--assuming you
can connect to other servers from the client. Have you run the surface area config tool on the target server? -- ____________________________________ William (Bill) Vaughn Author, Mentor, Consultant, Dad, Grandpa Microsoft MVP INETA Speaker www.betav.com www.betav.com/blog/billva www.hitchhikerguides.net www.betav.com/blog/billva www.betav.com Please reply only to the newsgroup so that others can benefit.

I can connect to a separate Server using the same connection string, except for the IP address, and it works fine. I can also connect to both Servers using the application on Windows XP
The SQL Server configuation tools will have to do. Make sure the defaults
are over-ridden to make the server visible. Since SP3a SQL Server 2000 is configured to be invisible to the net. The TCP/IP protocol is disabled. See http://www.databasejournal.com/features/mssql/article.php/3334851. He discusses the SQL Server Network Utility that's used to make these configuration changes. hth -- ____________________________________ William (Bill) Vaughn Author, Mentor, Consultant, Dad, Grandpa Microsoft MVP INETA Speaker www.betav.com www.betav.com/blog/billva www.hitchhikerguides.net www.betav.com/blog/billva www.betav.com Please reply only to the newsgroup so that others can benefit.
