connect to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 from a remote computer


When you try to connect to an instance of Microsoft SQL Server 2005 from a remote computer, you may receive an error message. This problem may occur when you use any program to connect to SQL Server. For example, you receive the following error message when you use the SQLCMD utility to connect to SQL Server:
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client: 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.
This problem may occur when SQL Server 2005 is not configured to accept remote connections. By default, SQL Server 2005 Express Edition and SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition do not allow remote connections. To configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections, complete all the following steps:
Enable remote connections on the instance of SQL Server that you want to connect to from a remote computer.
Turn on the SQL Server Browser service.
Configure the firewall to allow network traffic that is related to SQL Server and to the SQL Server Browser service.
This article describes how to complete each of these steps.
Back to the top

Enable remote connections for SQL Server 2005 Express or SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition       
You must enable remote connections for each instance of SQL Server 2005 that you want to connect to from a remote computer. To do this, follow these steps:                                              
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and
then click SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.                                                      
On the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration page, click Surface Area Configuration for Services
and Connections. On the Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections page,         
expand Database Engine, click Remote Connections, click Local and remote connections,
click the appropriate protocol to enable for your environment, and then click Apply.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Note Click OK when you receive the following message:
Changes to Connection Settings will not take effect until you restart the Database Engine service.
On the Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections page, expand Database Engine, click Service, click Stop, wait until the MSSQLSERVER service stops, and then click Start to restart the MSSQLSERVER service.

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Back to the top
Enable the SQL Server Browser service
-------------------------------------------------
If you are running SQL Server 2005 by using an instance name and you are not using a specific TCP/IP port number in your connection string, you must enable the SQL Server Browser service to allow for remote connections. For example, SQL Server 2005 Express is installed with a default instance name of Computer Name\SQLEXPRESS. You are only required to enable the SQL Server Browser service one time, regardless of how many instances of SQL Server 2005 you are running. To enable the SQL Server Browser service, follow these steps.

Important These steps may increase your security risk. These steps may also make your computer or your network more vulnerable to attack by malicious users or by malicious software such as viruses. We recommend the process that this article describes to enable programs to operate as they are designed to, or to implement specific program capabilities. Before you make these changes, we recommend that you evaluate the risks that are associated with implementing this process in your particular environment. If you choose to implement this process, take any appropriate additional steps to help protect your system. We recommend that you use this process only if you really require this process.
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Surface Area Configuration.
On the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration page, click Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections.
On the Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections page, click SQL Server Browser, click Automatic for Startup type, and then click Apply.

Note When you click the Automatic option, the SQL Server Browser service starts automatically every time that you start Microsoft Windows.
Click Start, and then click OK.
Note When you run the SQL Server Browser service on a computer, the computer displays the instance names and the connection information for each instance of SQL Server that is running on the computer. This risk can be reduced by not enabling the SQL Server Browser service and by connecting to the instance of SQL Server directly through an assigned TCP port. Connecting directly to an instance of SQL Server through a TCP port is beyond the scope of this article. For more information about the SQL Server Browser server and connecting to an instance of SQL Server, see the following topics in SQL Server Books Online:
SQL Server Browser Service
Connecting to the SQL Server Database Engine
Client Network Configuration
Back to the top
===============================================================
Create exceptions in Windows Firewall
--------------------------------------------------
These steps apply to the version of Windows Firewall that is included in Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) and in Windows Server 2003. If you are using a different firewall system, see your firewall documentation for more information.

If you are running a firewall on the computer that is running SQL Server 2005, external connections to SQL Server 2005 will be blocked unless SQL Server 2005 and the SQL Server Browser service can communicate through the firewall. You must create an exception for each instance of SQL Server 2005 that you want to accept remote connections and an exception for the SQL Server Browser service.

SQL Server 2005 uses an instance ID as part of the path when you install its program files. To create an exception for each instance of SQL Server, you must identify the correct instance ID. To obtain an instance ID, follow these steps:
Click Start, point to Programs, point to Microsoft SQL Server 2005, point to Configuration Tools, and then click SQL Server Configuration Manager.
In SQL Server Configuration Manager, click the SQL Server Browser service in the right pane, right-click the instance name in the main window, and then click Properties.
On the SQL Server Browser Properties page, click the Advanced tab, locate the instance ID in the property list, and then click OK.
To open Windows Firewall, click Start, click Run, type firewall.cpl, and then click OK.
Create an exception for SQL Server 2005 in Windows Firewall
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To create an exception for SQL Server 2005 in Windows Firewall, follow these steps:
In Windows Firewall, click the Exceptions tab, and then click Add Program.
In the Add a Program window, click Browse.
Click the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Binn\sqlservr.exe executable program, click Open, and then click OK.

Note The path may be different depending on where SQL Server 2005 is installed. MSSQL.1 is a placeholder for the instance ID that you obtained in step 3 of the previous procedure.
Repeat steps 1 through 3 for each instance of SQL Server 2005 that needs an exception.
Create an exception for the SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall
To create an exception for the SQL Server Browser service in Windows Firewall, follow these steps:
In Windows Firewall, click the Exceptions tab, and then click Add Program.
In the Add a Program window, click Browse.
Click the C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqlbrowser.exe executable program, click Open, and then click OK.

Note The path may be different depending on where SQL Server 2005 is installed.

Ipswitch, Inc.
Lexington, Mass.

http://www.ipswitch.com
Intstallation and Setup
WhatsUp Gold  is primarily a discovery and monitoring tool for TCP/IP, IPX, and NetBIOS networks. On Windows 95/98, it runs as an application; on Windows NT and 2000, it can also run as a service. We installed WhatsUp Gold 5.0 on a PIII 500 running Windows NT4 SP5, using the supplied setup program.
Installation is quick and painless. The only catch we spotted: WhatsUp Gold performance graphs require ODBC. You must make install ODBC before WhatsUp Gold, because graph support cannot be added later. Also, if you plan to run WhatsUp Gold as an NT service, you'll want to discover your network in "regular" mode first.
A "demo network" is included to help first-timers get familiar with WhatsUp Gold (right). This demo provides an excellent overview of WhatsUp Gold features and navigation. The User's Guide offers simple, step-by-step instructions on how to get your feet wet by creating a map of your own.

  4. Copy all the files that are contained in the I386\New and I386\Ip folders to the I386 folder. To do this, switch to the I386 folder, type the following at the command prompt, and press ENTER after each command:
    copy new
    copy ip
    For example, to copy all of the files in the E:\XPSP1\I386\New folder and E:\XPSP1\I386\Ip folder to the E:\XPSP1\I386 folder, type the following at the command prompt, and press ENTER after each command:
    e:
    cd xpsp1\i386
    copy new
    copy ip
  5. At the command prompt, type exit, and then press ENTER.

Installing Total Security 2009 took less effort than most security packages we've tried, with the install and update routines finishing in less than 5 minutes. The program didn’t pitch fits at the presence of other security apps but simply issued a general warning that some could cause severe conflicts. Its Configuration Wizard let us make some informed choices before running the program, such as what general level of security to apply and whether the basic or advanced program view should be used as a default. We do have one caveat: The 32-bit XP version (it also comes in 64-bit XP and Vista flavors; we tested both XP packages) caused Windows to display eight pop-ups in a row during installation about Total Security 2009 being an unsigned, unverified XP program, with potential stability problems. This happened with the 2008 edition as well, but we couldn’t reproduce the error on another machine running XP. Nor did any subsequent issues arise as a result.
