Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection

Ok,
I've spent a bunch of hours trying to figure out how to connect to SQL
Server 2005. I have MSDE 2005, IIS 6.0 and ASP.NET configured on my laptop.
I can run ASP.net code with no problem. I can access SQL Server from the
command line using osql with no problem.
But trying to access sql server 2005 from asp.net yields the following
message:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred 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)
Can someone help me with this? I have both tcp/ip and named pipes enabled.

ThanksCan you post your connection string?
specifying
Network=DBMSSOCN
in your connection string will cause it to use tcp instead of named pipes,
which is less error prone.

Cn = new SqlConnection("Network=DBMSSOCN;Data Source=192.168.1.103;Initial
Catalog=sqlexpress;Integrated Security=SSPI");
The new error message I get is:
(provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the
target machine actively refused it.)
The detail is as follows:
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred 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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection
could be made because the target machine actively refused it.)
It appears that the connection is blocked but I'm not sure where. I've
checked Windows Firewall and made sure that the appropriate ports are open...

This is a post that explains exactly how to enable remote connections for
express.

great now.
Thanks for all your help

mySQL -> msSQL

Hello all,

I spent the last two days trying to find an application that can export a mySQL database into msSQL syntax so that I can then use that to just create my msSQL database. I have had no such luck, though I could find a bunch to do msSQL to mySQL.

Please let me know if anyone has one or knows of one that works because I really do not want to hand port my 70 table database from mySQL to msSQL

Thanks in advance,

Anthony F Greco

DO you want application tool?

i found these two sites, not sure if it helps

http://www.softplatz.com/Soft/Network-Internet/Other/MySQL-MS-SQL-Server-Import-Export-Convert-Software.html

http://mysql-to-sql-server.qarchive.org/

|||Yes I did see them, I was just hopping to find a freeware one. If not I will go with one of them though. Thanks for the help =]|||

Hey

You could take a look at this:

Migrating MySQL to Microsoft SQL Server

I've done this before and just want to remind you that MySql is case sensitive but Sql server is not ,for example:

You hava column A(pk) B with values:

valueA valueB

valuea valueb

Sql Server will complain about violation ofprimary key constraint .

Hope this helps.
