| How would I connect to remote SQL 2005 database using Management Studio?The only difference from local DB is that I type IP address instead of server name, right?I'm getting error:Testing the registered server failed. Verify the server name, login cridentials, and then click Test again.Additional information:An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to 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: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)I did everything from article "How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections"(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=914277&SD=tech). SQL Browser enabled. Both TCP/IP and Named Pipes are enabled. Exceptions in firewall for sqlsrvr.exe and sqlbrowser.exe added.Did not help. What else could I check? |
