Well, I'm having the following situation.
I'm trying to set up a testing environment which consist of having a SQL Server on a Windows Server VM hosted on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). So far I've installed SQL Server on the VM and configured an instance with SQL authentication. Then I installed SMSS to access using the instance name and my credentials. At this point everything works well.
The problem comes when I try to access my SQL Server via SMSS from another computer. As the instance I'm using my GCP VM IP Adress and the credentials I've created before. The error is as follows:
So far I've done the following configurations:
Enable TCP/IP via SQL Server configuration manager.
I made sure that port 1433 was properly configured in the TCP/IP properties.
Created a new inbound rule on the Firewall to allow TCP connections using port 1433.
On the SMSS, checked that allow remote connections is enabled.
Restarted SQL Services from SQL Server configuration manager and services.msc
With above configurations it should work! But I've no idea what's happening.
Anyone who could give me a hint of how this could be solved, I'd appreciate it.
Recently SQL Server was accidentally changed by one of the staff, and this caused the user unable to login to the server via the application. However, even at the later stage, the server name was reverted back to the same name, it was still inaccessible.
Can anyone help?
Already tried to put into the cliconfg settings point the IP and Hostname to the SQL Server but still unable to connect.
Check Server allowed port. or Enable connect Ethernet in server config. After setting restart sql server service and sql browser service
I'm facing the issue while creating a azure database in the local machine by sql server 2012 ,
this is my error:
TITLE: Connect to Server
Cannot connect to tcp:ServerName.database.windows.net.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Login failed for user 'UserName'.
This session has been assigned a tracing ID of '041a1130-65a5-4ad6-91c0-02ff3b4fbca5'. Provide this tracing ID to customer support when you need assistance. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 18456)
The issue is occurring might be due to following the following, I have specified how to overcome against each issue:
Check if your IP is added in the firewall, if not refer to http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/jj553530.aspx
Check if you have configured the wrong IP in Azure Firewall. Try opening SQL Azure Management Studio online http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/ee621784.aspx#WinAzMgtPort where it asks you to add the IP in firewall.
If above is not working then check if the user credentials is correct, if you forgot the credentials then resetting it might help.
Iam using SQL server 2000 SP4 and iam running a website on localhost.
This worked great, i moved to hostgator to run my websites there.
I changed the IP in inc.config.php but i still get an error when i visit my website.
Core-Error: Failed to connect to database!
Error: Please check if MSSQL-service is running and reachable (firewall, etc.).
I added firewall rules for the ports that are needed and also added sqlserv.exe to the firewall to allow this. The service is up because my client can still connect to my local hosted website.
Do i need to enable remote connection from MSSQL 2000 ?

I have an application that runs fine when executed off the server. When clients try to connect, they receive the following error:
Failed to get data.
*Data provider could not be initialized
*SQL Server does not exist, or access denied
on my Office Web Components (MDAC). I am guessing there is some security or server configuration error, but I'm not able to pinpoint it. I am running SQL Server 2005.
*Note - clients can't change their security settings, company policy.
When you try this from a command prompt:
TELNET servername 1433
What happens? If you get a blank screen, then SQL Server is listening and you've got something wrong in your client settings. If you get an "Access denied" or "no response"-type answer, it's most likely either a firewall issue or SQL Server isn't listening, but in either case, it's a server issue.
SQL Server 2005 disables network accessibility by default, you might need to enable it

Your firewall settings might be preventing connections from your clients. If not, it can be a DNS issue.
Most likely an issue with your firewall not allowing remote connections?
If it's working from the server but clients are having problems, I think the "access denied" part of the error is the key here and it's an authentication problem.
What sort of authentication are you using to authenticate your clients? Is the server using impersonation? If you're running clients and server in an active directory domain, the client application (Office or Internet Explorer for example) might be passing credentials to the server which the server is using to authenticate to the database.
For SQL Server to be contactable from a network machine it requires port 1433 to be open on the server for TCP traffic. Additionally, if you have a named instance you should check the port it is listening on as it may be different to the the default and will probably need to be opened. You will also have to open up port 1434 for UDP to support the SQL Browser Service
firewall issue. diable firewall, run instance again
