I want to replicate data via Internet using FTP Server, i have SQL 2K with SP3. i set up client network as

- Server Name: ip address on internet
- Network libraries: TCP/IP
- Port : 1433
But i connect using Enterprise Manage to SQL Server then it errors:
A Connection could not be established to Dis-server ( Dis-server is my servername)
Reason: SQL Server does not exist or accessed denied

please help me..tks

from the subscriber can you ping your publisher?
On your publisher and subscriber you have to configure the subsciber and
publisher using client network utility.
Make sure that the publsiher and subscriber are listed in the hosts file
(thanks Paul Ibison for this tidbit of tidbitosity)
Then on your Publisher go to Tools - replication - Configure Publishers,
subscribers, distributors, click on the subscribers tab, and click on the
check box to the right of your subscriber server name. Ensure you are using
a SQL Server account, and enter the subscriber sa (or an account in the
system administrator role) onthe subscriber and its password.
Then on your subscriber, set up a pull subscription.

Connects but network error, Im behind Wingate

Hello.

I'm trying to connect to SQL Server using Enterprise manager. I'm behind a Wingate proxy.

I've configured an alias using TCP/IP, pointing to the (local network) IP of the Wingate box.

On the Wingate box I've set a TCP Mapping service on port 1433, pointing to the IP of the remote SQL Server on port 1433 too.

The error message is:
General network error. Changed language settings to us-english. ConnectionRead(Error SIO_KEEPALIVE_VALS())..

I assume at least *something* is right, as if I change the password to a bogus one I get "Login failed" instead of this network error.

Hope someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks,
- ManuelYou probably need to enable UDP port 1434 as well. See MSDN (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adminsql/ad_1_server_1zuc.asp) for a more complete explaination.

-PatP|||Hello.

Just added UDP mapping on 1434. Same error.

Read the MSDN article but couldn't figure what else to try. Just in case I didn't make myself clear, I'm trying to connect to a server outside my local network (as opposed to enabling a server on my network to be seen on the internet).

How can I debug this forward? What else can I do?

Thanks again,
- Manuel|||Check the Wingate log, and look to see what traffic is blocked from the workstation headed toward the server's IP address. It should be on port 1433 unless you are using a named instance of SQL Server, but look for anything, just in case.

Triple check to be sure that your Client Network Settings (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adminsql/ad_1_client_7v03.asp) and the server's Server Network Settings (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adminsql/ad_1_server_2epl.asp) are compatible, especially if they are using a Proxy (http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/adminsql/ad_1_server_1y5u.asp).

-PatP|||As referred by Pat ensure both client & server's netlibs are similar, by chance are you running on cluster?

Try to use Named-pipes instead of Tcp/IP.

Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported.

Hi

I am trying to connect to another sql server in my company using the IP address for exmp. : 111.111.1.1\SQL2005 but it show this message:

Connections through a server alias, IP address, or any other alternate name are not supported. it was working well on SQL2000

Please help

Have you tried to create an alias in SQL server configuration manager?

Gary

|||Yes I did and is still not accepting|||

Hi Ziad,

Can you explain what you did exactly ? did you create the following:

1-create alisan name : mysecondserver

2-port: by default empty , you need to specify the port in case you have firewall issue.

3-protocol: TCP/IP or other..

4-server: IP\instance_name

NB: to be sure about server name on the second server select @.@.servername in query window on the second server.

If you still cannot connect , please send me a direct email, you can find it on my site and i will try to discuss it with you.

Connection to an alias instead of a named server?

Is this doable?
The server name is TOPAZ
The alias name is topaz-alias
The username is somesqldb
The password is password
The following connection statement works:
Connection conn_topaz_byserver =
DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://topaz;databasename=somesqldb"
,"somesqldb", "password");
The following connection statement fails:
Connection conn_topaz_byalias =
DriverManager.getConnection
("jdbc:microsoft:sqlserver://topaz-alias;databasename=somesqldb"
,"somesqldb", "password");

Hi Galen. The driver is trying to open a raw socket
to a machine named whatever you put in the URL
after the '//' and before the ';'. If you can
set up your DNI to find topaz from the alias,
then it will work.
Here's a program that opens a socket like the
typical type-4 driver will do, given the inputs
the URL and properties will supply. If you can
configure your OS dni info to get this program to
succeed opening the socket using the alias you want,
then the driver will too.

The following worked:
java.net.Socket socket = new java.net.Socket("topaz",1433);
The following failed:
java.net.Socket socket = new java.net.Socket("topaz-alias",1433);
So, the alias seems to be a "microsoft toolset only" feature.
Thanks.
