In case you experience connection problems between your client and server, it's often the Firewall settings. Please read following article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/832017/en-us

The TCP/IP Protocol is not activated on a new installation of the MS-SQL Server. You need to activate the protocol in the configuration tool of the server.

We have created a script that opens all necessary firewall ports for you, to exclude Firewall problems if you run into connection problems.

Please download the script: setports.bat here: http://manual.xperttimer.com/pro5/setports/setports.zip

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The scripts include following commands:

@echo =========  Port of the SQL-Servers  ===================

@echo Activate Port 1433 for die SQLServer-Standardinstanz

netsh firewall set portopening TCP 1433 "SQLServer"

@echo Activate Port 1434 for dedicated adminitrative connections

netsh firewall set portopening TCP 1434 "SQL-Administrator connections"

@echo Activate Port 4022 for the conventional SQL Server-Service Broker  

netsh firewall set portopening TCP 4022 "SQL-Service Broker"

@echo Activate Port 135 for Transact-SQL-Debugger/RPC

netsh firewall set portopening TCP 135 "SQL-Debugger/RPC"

@echo =========  Ports for analyzing  ==============

@echo Activate Port 2383 for  SSAS-Standard instanCE

netsh firewall set portopening TCP 2383 "Analysing"

@echo Activate Port 2382 for SQL Server-BrowseR

netsh firewall set portopening TCP 2382 "SQL-Browser"

@echo =========  Verschiedene Anwendungen  ==============

@echo Activate Port 80 für HTTP

netsh firewall set portopening TCP 80 "HTTP"

@echo Activate Port 443 for SSL

netsh firewall set portopening TCP 443 "SSL"

@echo Activate Port for the field "Search" in the SQL Browser

netsh firewall set portopening UDP 1434 "SQL-Browser"

@echo Accept Multicast-/Broadcast answers on UDP (Count of Browser Services OK)

netsh firewall set multicastbroadcastresponse ENABLE

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In order to run the script, start the file (setports.bat) on your server. All listed ports will be opened.

If you keep on having connection problems, double check the settings in your Firwall on both sides. Client and server. The exceptions must be entered on both sides and depending on the operating systems, the paths may vary.

For example:

•C:\Program Files (x86)\microsoft sql server\mssql.1\mssql\binn\sqlservr.exe

•C:\Program Files (x86)\microsoft sql server\90\shared\sqlbrowser.exe

•C:\Program Files (x86)\microsoft sql server\90\shared\sqlwriter.exe

Now you should get a connection between client and server. Still not? You might have to double-check your domain settings.
