I am trying to connect to a remote SQL database.
I have the access and the sql server is configured for remote login.
I can login to the server from another machine (B) but not from my machine (A).
Both the machines (A and B) are on same domain. None have their IP white-listed.
In short, I do not think there is an issue on sql server side.
On my side,
I tried modifying DTC and firewall properties. (Not sure if the modifications are correct).
Could anybody please help.
Are you trying to connect through software? You said "SQL Server" so I'll assume you're talking about using SSMS to connect to a server?
You said that you can login to the SQL server from the box that the server is on but not from a remote computer. This sounds like a permissions problem to me.
Is the account you created setup for Windows authentication? Should you be using a local SQL server account instead?
Some more information could help everyone troubleshoot.
you set blind address in the sql server config?

I'm attempting to remotely connect to my SQL Express 2016 server through MS SQL on my local machine however am having extreme difficulties with the authentication.. Well I assume it is an authentication issue as when I attempt connect to connect to it I receive the error message:
The remote computer refused the network connection.
When connecting through the sqlcmd I am using Windows authentication and have no issue, however to connect to it remotely I need to use SQL authentication and have no memory of creating an account so am wondering if there's a default login and password?
I believe this is the issue however it is quite likely i'm doing something stupid so any assistance would be appreciated!
You can create an account that can be used to connect to that SQLExpress instance by using SQL Server Management Studio. Expand the database you wish to create a login for in the Object Explorer. Under the Security folder, you can create a new login by right clicking the Logins folder.
Also make sure that your machine has its firewall configured to allow remote connections, the server has remote connections enabled, and that you are allowing logins for Windows Auth and SQL Server Auth.
You can allow remote connections for a server by opening the SQL Server Configuration Manager. Under the SQL Server Network Confiuration Node, Select Protocols for MYSERVERNAME. Ensure that TCP/IP is enabled.
Here's a guide on setting up the firewall: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175043(v=sql.110).aspx
You can enable SQL Server Authentication by right clicking your server name in the object explorer in SQL Server Management Studio and going to the Security tab. look for the "Server Authentication" option.
I created an Azure SQL Server. I have set the firewall, added my IP address to the rules. I tried to log in using SQL Server Managment Studio but got the network error every time. I am using the Server Admin Login and password created while creating the SQL server. Are there any more steps required to log into the SQL Server?
Note: I also enabled port 1433 for inbound connections on my PC.
According to the error message, we should check the server name of the database.
We can select the database here, and SQL Server Managment Studio will type the server name automatically:
Another way, we can find the information via azure portal, then type the server name manually:
It seems you are using named pipes to connect to SQL database. What happens if you specify TCP/IP protocol in advanced properties tab?
Thanks Everyone for your inputs. The only issue was, the firewall was blocking the port 1433. After opening it, I could connect to the SQL Server hosted in Azure. The link below mentions the requirement to open the said port. https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/sql-database/sql-database-develop-direct-route-ports-adonet-v12
I am trying to connect my TFS-2015 residing on one machine to the SQL Server 2014 residing on another machine.
This is my SQL Server instance name:
This is the error I get on TFS:
Please guide me the fix here.
It could be a firewall setting on the sql server. Can you connect using SSMS from another machine in your network? Are you using the default port? If so is there a firewall rule allowing traffic on 1433?
If connection is not the problem then it looks like a user right issue. The account running TFS and if it is different the account installing TFS will need a proper login to SQL.

Look at your screenshot: You only gave it a SQL instance name (MSSQLSERVER). You have to provide a database server name as well. How is it going to know what server to connect to otherwise?
I installed SQL Server Management Studio on my machine and once it was succesfully installed, I tried to connect to the local Database Engine but I was not succesful connecting to it it showing up an error showing as Cannot connect to the Local or having Network Related problems in the connection. I got a question here once I download the SQL Server management studio Do I need to do something else to get connected to the Local SQL Server.
Thanks,
Pranay.
No you don't need by default you can connect to local machine. You might have a problem connecting from other machine in the network if TCP is not enabled, but local should work.
Make sure you typed your 'sa' password correctly or use Windows Authentication.
Did you check in Windows Services? There is the service SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) and SQL Server Browser which must be running.
Go to your Sql Server Configuration Manager and make sure that SQL Server is running. Otherwise right click and click Start.
And sometimes you need to Enable TCP/IP in your Protocols again in your Sql Server Configuration Manager
When I tried to connect with my Remote Database, I was able to connect susccesfully. But when I tried to connect to my local database, I was un-able to connect. I am curious to know about this Because I dont have any issues in connecting with the remote database.
I appreciate your kind help.
Thanks in advance.
Run SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Under your native client options you'll have "Client Protocols".
Make sure that "Named Pipes" is enabled on all of these.
