I am trying to connect SQL Server to an Excel sheet using get data source. I have two systems: System A has SQL Server installed, and I'm trying to connect to System B using an Excel sheet.
When I provide the details as
Server: 10.100.84.224\DOHVP1C00JIRA01 and Database: jiradb1
Click on "Ok", I get an error
Unable to Connect

I have checked all the connection which are configured and looks fine like port numbers and I followed this link too

Note: if we want to access System B is VPN secure and we have opened for those too.
Please check if the TCP/IP is enabled in SQL Server Configuration Manager for the server end.
Besides, please make sure that the SQL Server is allowed remote connection.
And you use the instance name to connect the server, please ensure that the SQL Server Browser service is started.
By the way, you can ping the IP address to check if the network is we

I have installed SQL Server (mssql) extension in my VS Code then tried to connect to SQL Server Express with ./SQLEXPRESS, master, integrated log in detail. It should work perfectly as by default there's a database named "master".
But instead I get two errors:
mssql: Error: Unable to connect using the connection information
provided. Retry profile creation?
mssql: Error 3: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred
while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not
found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct
and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a
connection to SQL Server)
Please can anyone help me with that?
Expecting to connect VS Code with SQL Server Express
I recently install SQL server 2014 in my PC and I selected SQL authentication rather than Windows authentication after completion of installation when I tried to log in my server it shows this error even my server name and password was correct even though it shows this what to do now!!
following is the error message shows when I try to log in.....
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to AADI_SQLSERVER.

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible.

The network path was not found
As the error states "network-related or instance-specific error" its related not being able to find the instance.
This maybe due wrong instance name, Check the spellings of the server that you are connecting to.
You may have installed a named instance like sqlexpress in that case the server name should be {YourServer}\Sqlexpress.
You can get your instance name by going to services, if its MSSQLSERVER you can connect with the machine name else you should provide the correct instance name.
Please refer the screenshot below.
If you are connecting to another machine check the network configuration of the instance by going to sql server configuration manager. If the status is disabled you can connect from outside.
If that also fails better check the firewall settings
I have that problem i cannot connect to SQL Server.
I get this error:
Cannot connect to (localdb)\MSSQLLocalDB. A network-related or
instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to
SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify
that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured
to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces,
error: 50 - Local Database Runtime error occurred. Error occurred
during LocalDB instance startup: unable to create the SQL Server
process. ) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1983577844)
I have looked all over the internet, but all of them are solutions that don't work for me, they show something like you just need to connect to your server the right way, and then make a user login.
But how can I do that if I can't get into my server or database.
I can't get any further than this picture
I even tried through Services that some fix it through, or SQL Server Configuration Manager but I don't have any SQL Server Services.
As you can see on this picture
Btw it's saying there is no elements to show.
I have no idea to what I can do now.
We have our SSRS servers, on-premise. When trying to connect to the Azure SQL DB, it is throwing the following error when not using the port number 1433:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while
establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or
was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that
SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named
Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
When using the port 1433, the same error is coming only instead of Named Pipes it says TCP.
What to do? I have already added the SSRS IP to the Azure SQL DB firewall and have checked the connection string is also perfect. Since Auidting is on, we are also using 'secure' in the connection URL of the server.
I just fixed my computer here and there after I was facing some BSOD's and when I now try to open up SQL Server using Windows Authentication, displays the following message and doesn't login.

I checked in the Configuration Manager, Named Pipes, Shared Memory and TCP/IP all are enabled. What went wrong now? :-|
Did you check SQL Server Configuration Manager->SQL Service(MSSQL). Is it runnig?
You also can check:
SQL Service(MSSQL)->Properties->Service->Host Name is eqals to "Service Name"
which you must enter when you start your MSSQL Manadgment Studio.
If it don`t help you can read this articlea http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sql_protocols/archive/2007/05/13/sql-network-interfaces-error-26-error-locating-server-instance-specified.aspx
Check if you are typing in the right computer name and instance name. The error basically points to that.
