Connectivity Issues - Bizzare

I am trying to connect to a default instance of SQL Server 2000 Enterprise o
n
a remote network server using ADO.NET objects through ASP.NET Web Applicatio
n.
The SQL SERVER is on a Windows XP machine (no firewall enabled) with TCP/IP
and Named Pipes enabled
For the test purposes, I created a new Web Form, created a new SqlConnection
in the Server Explorer to the remote database. I test the connection is VS
IDE and everything is fine. I create a SqlDataAdapter on the web form,
generate a dataset, test the dataset and the results are valid. I bind the
SqlDataAdapter to a datagrid and run the webform. I now get the following
error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server does not exist or access
denied.
at System.Data.SqlClient.ConnectionPool.GetConnection(Boolean&
isInTransaction)
at
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnectionPoolManager.GetPooledConnection(SqlConnec
tionString options, Boolean& isInTransaction)
at System.Data.SqlClient.SqlConnection.Open()
at DBConnTest.WebForm1.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) in
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dbconntest\webform1.aspx.cs:line 39
Hmph! I take the same connection string from the web app, create a win app.
Place a datagrid on the form, do the binding and load the app. Hey Presto! i
t
works.
I used TCPView (systeminternals.com) and I can see aspnet_wp trying to
create a connection, but its at though SQL Server is rejecting the
connection, although I see no failures in SQL Server.
Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
AndySounds like firewall to me.
As a quick test to see if firewall is blocking port, try this from command
prompt on client machine ->
telnet mysqlmachine 1433
If you can't telnet to 1433, then you have firewall issue.
