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.

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.

No, webserver and database server are not in the domain, but they resolve
their names through the local IP address.

Thanks

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.

Have you tried connecting to your SQL Server by using
"ip_address\instance_name" in the connection string?

Try and let me know the result. But first be sure that you can ping to SQL
Server from your remote machine and vice versa.

Thanks alot but how about Porta Number because on the same Server SQL Server
2000 is also installed and its also registered in SQL Native Client
Configuration with 1433 port should I put the same 1433 Port Number for SQL
Server 2005? or its dynamic?

Thanks

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
