I have opened up port 1433 on the remote server A. I have made sure that “Allow remote connections to this server” is checked on the remote server properties under connections. I have also chosen “Using both TCP/IP and named pipes” under Remote Connections in the SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration.I am using \\xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\sqlservername and user sa to connect. I get the following error: “An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to the 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: 5 – Invalid parameter(s) found) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error:87)”If I take out the \\ from the server path I get an error that the server not found. So I think I am getting to the server.I have run SQL profiler and there is no event or failed login on the remote server when I try to connect to SQL server A. SQL Server A is on Windows2003 with all current patches. I have tried connecting from Windows XP pro and Windows2003 server. Is this a network issue, Windows2003 issue, or a SQL issue? jen Flowing Fount of Yak Knowledge Sweden 4110 Posts Posted-02/06/2006: 03:41:36 same problem here...anyone can spare some ideas? this sql2k5 is killing me...here's what i've got:1. protocols: both for tcp/ip and named pipes enabled (remote and local connections used)2. mixed authentication mode3. named instance created4. able to check the surface area configuration and server configuration5. can't get into the system via management studioany help will be greatly appreciated...TIA--------------------keeping it simple... mr_mist Grunnio United Kingdom 1870 Posts Posted-02/06/2006: 04:48:43 Are you connecting locally or remotely?
