Please, apart from management studio, is there any other tool which can be used to connect to a database on a hosting server online. Because I've tried so many times with management studio with the right credentials but I'm still not able to connect. I've disable all firewalls, made the right configuration but I'm still not able to connect.
when I connect I get this error
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: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No such host is
known.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 11001)

I cannot connect to any remote SQL Server instances from my system. I used to connect them from SQL Server Management Studio. Moreover, I can still connect to the same SQL Servers remotely from another systems (my colleagues' system).
I am getting following error:
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) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
Error Number: 53
Severity: 20
State: 0
I have checked:
Named pipes/TCP is enabled.
Remote connections are allowed.
Windows Firewall is off.
Enabled everything in SQL Server Configuration Manager.
Also, I have tried everything mentioned in this post-
How do I fix the error 'Named Pipes Provider, error 40 - Could not open a connection to' SQL Server'?
But still could not solve my problem. Please suggest any method which allows me to fix this error and connect to the remote servers again.
instead of check whether that server system is working or not, because sometimes if the server system is not working means we are unable to connect to that system
I'm trying to connect to a sql server and its not allowing me to. This just recently started happening from what I can tell nothing was changed. The TCP port (1433) is enabled and allowed access through the firewall, the Named Pipes is enabled. I can ping the IP address of the SQL Server I am trying to connect to. I am running out of ideas fast!
Here is the error:
Cannot connect to (MyServerName)
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)
The network path was not found
This was resolved. The company that was hosting the SQL Server I was trying to reach had blocked our cloud server IP address. Thanks for your help everyone!
Map your shared folder on both Sql Servers [ primary and secondary Sql server ] and try again to configure file log shipping may this help because in my scenario is working for me

I think probably you haven't configure any Azure DB firewall rules to allow your computer's IP to communicate with your Azure DBs.
Simple things to check (not sure what you've tried so humour me here):
You're connected to the outside network.
Instance\Database name, username and password are correct.
Instance and database are online and connectable (Azure servers not down for scheduled maintenance or run out of paid services.)
Firewall rules are incorrect.
Also I think this question here is identical to your question. Try checking that out.
Hi All We have a server where we have sql server 2008 as well as SQL server 2005 hosted on port 1444. Using SSMS, I am able to connect to 2008 instance without any problem. But when I try to connect to 2005 instance using following connection settings.
DEVDB1\SQL_2005,1444
SQL server authentication user name and password.
I get following error
"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: TCP
Provider, error: 0 - A Connection attempt failed because the connected
party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established
connection failed because connection host has failed to
respond)(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10060)"
I am able to connect to another instance on the same server. but not this.
NOTE: My colleagues are able to connect to this sql server with the same settings. It just does not work from my machine. Me and all my colleagues are working on VPN and have same machine configuration.
Is there any setting that I need to do/check to get successfully connected?
My VPN user profile was restricting access to this perticular port. Once my VPN user profile is matched with those who were able to access, the problem resolved.
I am new to managing servers but I have just been given full access to set up an MS SQL Database on win server 2003. I have created a Database successfully and can connect locally (via remote desktop server)
Problem is I can't connect to the database from my personal computer (remotely, via ms sql server management studio). I have followed several tutorials such as: http://blog.sqlauthority.com/2009/05/21/sql-server-fix-error-provider-named-pipes-provider-error-40-could-not-open-a-connection-to-sql-server-microsoft-sql-server-error/
The error I am receiving is:
Cannot connect to 'servername'
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
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

Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a

Any help will be great, thanks!
"SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections"
You need to enable remote tcp/ip connections in sql surface area configuration. It's new in 2005 and then dropped in 2008.
If that doesn't work, you either have a network issue are are perhaps giving the wrong name - maybe you installed a named instance?
