hi all,
I trying to connect remote sql server from my machine. but
it giving me some errors

Here are few errors listed,
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
connection to SQL Server))

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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error
Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then
an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. 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: 0 - No process is on the other
end of the pipe.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 233)

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then
an error occurred during the login process.(provider: Named Pipes
Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.)

To solve this problem I did following changes in SQL server

Enable the TCP/IP protocol using the Surface Area Configuration
Utility
Make sure the TCP/IP protocol is enabled in the SQL Server
Configuration Utility
start SQL Server browser
Exceptions are added in Firewall
Restart the computer

But still I am getting same errors.
Please give me some solution for this problem....
Thanks in advance.
 
Have you granted rights to members of the sysadmin role? This is done via
the SQL Server Surface Area Configuration tool. It launches the SS 2005 User
Provisioning Tool for Vista.

I understand your frustration, I have the same problem and I did what you did
and the problem still there
.......A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an
error occurred during the pre-login handshake. 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: TCP Provider, error:
0 - An invalid argument was supplied.)

PLEASE WE NEED HELP ASAP......

I had the same problem, then I changed the my connection string earlier I
used the machine name then I tried with IP address it is working fine

before that check remote connection enabled
 
I faced the same problem. I wasted almost a week. Finally I got the solution.
There are so many reasons behind the same problem.
One of then is as below.

There might be possoble you have defined aliases for the SQL server in your
machine.

To check the alias :

Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management : Open It

Expand Services And Application-> SQL Server Configuration Manager->SQL
Native Client Configuration

Check Aliases Option Under.

If you find any aliases for the SQL Server that you are getting problem.
Delete it for time being and test it.

For me it works hope that will help you too. Thanks.
 
I suggest reading my whitepaper on connecting. See www.betav.com/blog/billva
http://betav.com/blog/billva/2006/06/getting_and_staying_connected_1.html
While it looks like you've been working through the issues, the paper might
help identify a few more.
