Hi, I have sql server 2005 with service pack 2 installed on my laptop.I want to connect to a remote database and the problem is with correct credentials the login screen keeps on showing and nothing happens. However if i enter invalid credentials it shows login denied screen. All other workstation in my department are able to connect. Even i was connecting to it without any problems. Suddenly this thing started. Anybody having some idea why its happening.Thanks in advance. |

Maybe network link issue. Can you ping the server from your laptop? |
