Hi Gents,

i am administrating one remote SQlSelver 2000, on Windows 2000 server. but now i am not able to connect the server. when i try register the server in the Enterprise manager it gives the following error message.

"SQL server registration failed because of the connection failure displayed below. Do you wish to Register anyway?

SQL server does not exist or access denied.
ConnectionOpen (Connect())"

From other machine i am able to connect. i am using the correct tcp port server name, etc...

Kindly help me guys.

Regards,
Thaya

do a quick odbc connection from the connecting machine (create an entry)

if the connection credentials you've supplied is correct and same as the one that is able to connect, then I'll take a guess and say it's probably firewall rules that's preventing the connection from that particular machine
