>|||Hi I have experienced this problem also. Spent best part of a day trying to
resolve this to no avail. We have a VPN connection to our data center. The
database server has an instance of SQL 2000 which runs fine locally and
remotely from my desk. Recently we installed SQL 2005 and want to migrate
stuff to this new named instance. I can connect to the database fine locally
(on the database server itself and from other colocated machines (via
ADO.net). However I cannot access SQL 2005 over the VPN connection using
either ADO.net test app or SQL Management Studio. Is there some kind of port
blocking going on?
I don't know anything about Named Pipes, but I've tried the SQL
Configuration tool as suggested in some articles and have tried setting the
port to 1433 and turning of SQL 2000 to no avail. Would the VPN somehow be
blocking some ports - it appears that way, but my administrator assures me
that I should have full spectrum of ports available. WHATS GOING ON' Is the
SQL browser getting blocked or what? What button do I need to push to get
access to my database server from my development machine located over the
VPN?
Thanks Rob
