Connection with two SQL client to sql server - sql

I have two sql client on two systems having different tables , and One SQL server having all the tables.
This is designed to sync to Sync data of both the local clients to a single SQL server.
I am able to connect one sql client with sql server but I am not able to connect with second sql client.
Even I am not able to see the second client on server.
I tried disabling firewall, Antivirus. All connection are on LAN .
I doubt the port of sql server is reading from single port that's why I am not able to connect with second client, but I am not sure about this . I don't know where I am mistaken.

Ok, found the solution, I had used two databases because of that my port was occupied, I uninstalled the second Mysql and now it is working fine. I had disabled antivirus also.

SQL 2005: Discover all client connections

I have a project to inventory an SQL Server. Part of this project includes discovering every IP that makes a connection to this SQL Server. It is an internal SQL Server with several other programs running on other servers that access this SQL server. Because this server's IP address is going to be changed, all of those other programs will have to updated with the new address. Plus the boss just wants a diagram of everything running on this server and everything connecting to it.
My initial inclination would be to setup logon triggers to capture the client IP address and port and write it to table. I am unfamiliar with logon triggers and have read that they present dangers to the server.
What is the best way that I can discover who all is connecting to and using this server?
Running the stored procedure sp_who will tell you about the machines connected to a SQL server instance.

Cannot connect to Azure SQL database, even with whitelisted IP

I am currently unable to connect to my Azure SQL database from a separate remote standalone dedicated box in a private datacenter.
I have an Azure SQL database where I manage the list of IP addresses that can connect to this database. This has worked perfectly until now. I have recently set-up a new dedicated box in a private datacenter that needs to query the Azure SQL database at regular 5 second intervals, give or take.
The problem is, this dedicated box cannot establish a connection to the Azure SQL database, despite being able to connect to other remote FTP servers, MySQL servers, etc. The Azure SQL database does have the IP address of the dedicated box on the allowed connection list. Furthermore, I temporarily opened up a massive range of allowed IP addresses (0.0.0.0 -> 255.255.255.255) on the Azure SQL database to see whether this inability to connect may have resulted from IP blocking.
Does anyone have any suggestions or thoughts on what might be causing this and how I could begin debugging the situation better?
To clarify: I can connect to the Azure SQL database from laptops with individual IP addresses in my office and elsewhere, so long as they have been added to the database whitelist; I can make outward connections to remote FTP and MySQL servers from the dedicated box; I have tried to open-up a massive range of allowed IP addresses on Azure SQL with no luck.

To summarize.
Windows Azure SQL Database (formerly known as SQL Azure) works exclusively and only on TCP port 1433. It only support SQL Server Authentication, TCP connection and TDS protocol as of today.
In order to successfully establish connection to SQL Azure one must fulfil the following requirements:
Create SQL Azure server & Database
Setup SQL Azure Server's firewall rules to accept connections from the IP address of application that will connect to that server
Make sure the box (be it Virtual, or home, or whatever) has no blocking outbound TCP port 1433
Explicitly force encryption in connection string
Explicitly chose to not trust server certificate in connection string
Please note that many (if not all) ISPs (Internet Service Providers) and Hosters, as well as IT staff within companies DO block outgoing TCP Port 1433 due to the SQL Slammer worm. This outgoing port blocking appears to be one of the most faced issues of newcommers to SQL Azure.
UPDATE Nov. 2015
As of August 2015, there is preview feature that enables you to use Azure AD to authenticate to Azure SQL Database. You can read more on this new preview feature here: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/sql-database-aad-authentication/
If you're using corporate network for internet access and facing this problem,
a simple way around this is to use your phone's mobile hotspot for internet access instead.
Be sure to disable your ethernet connection too, which may also be connected to the internet.
Spent hours on this issue. The fix for me was finally found to be my setting on the Xfinity firewall. I had it set to high. Once I changed the setting to low security, I could connect to the Azure sql database with no issues.

Connection string for a remote SQL server

I am trying to connect to a remote SQL server. I would like to know the proper way to connect to the server. TCP/IP protocol is enabled. I am trying this way:
#"Server=myserver.com\SQLEXPRESS; Database=mydatabase; User ID=user; password=pass"
I am using myserver.com to connect to the server via RDP and I can connect without any problems, but when I am using the combination above to connect
to the SQL server via my code, it says that the server can't be found or does not exist.
Am I doing something wrong?
May I introduce you to http://www.connectionstrings.com whenever I have to manually create a connection string that's my first port of call. I can tell you right now that you can't do SQLExpress from a remote client (at least not the last time I checked). But here is the page for SQL Server connection strings. If it works, then it'll be there
Edit
It looks like you can connect remotely. It's just not configured that way out of the box

2-Tier SQL Server database example in VB.net

I'm currently working on a project that requires connection to a SQL Server 2008 database over a LAN network. I intend using one computer as a server where the database will be on, while the others will connect to the server. I've done a thorough search but couldn't find any material on this. All the examples and materials I've seen seem to skip the topic of database connection over a LAN. Does anyone know how I can do this? I would like to see a simple code showing how this is done (in VB.net since that's the language that I'm using).
Connecting to SQL Server over the network is no different to connecting to SQL Server on your local machine. Simply...
Using Conn As New SqlConnection(connstring)
//Do something here
End Using
For information about your connection string have a look at connectionstrings.com
There are a few gotchas though that have more to do with networking and firewalls than any code you will have to write so before you start make sure you can connect to your server with SQL Server Management Studio or similar. Make sure you SQL Server is configured to allow incoming connections.
Depending on the nature of your application and the number of users this may not be the best archictecture. Make sure you are using windows authentication as you really don't want to be storing SQL Connection Strings with username and passwords in config files on the client machines.

How to connect to a remote SQL Server using servername, username & password

How to connect to a remote SQL Server using servername, username & password in SQL Server 2005 ?
I'm going to assume that you're talking exactly about what your question asks, how to connect to a remote MSSQL instance inside SQL Server, rather than through SQL Server Management Studio because 1) you don't mention SSMS and 2) it's pretty obvious how to connect with SSMS (I mean, the connect box is right there when you start it).
To connect to one MSSQL instance from another you can use linked servers. You can query data from linked servers, and if they are configured for RPC Out you can also execute SQL against them.
If the server is configured for integrated security, there is no way of doing it without changing the security option.
Check out the ConnectionStrings website - it shows you how to build a connection string that will allow you to connect from your machine to a remote SQL Server instance.
That connection string will typically look something like:
server=YourServerHere;database=YourDatabase;User ID=YourUser;Password=Top$ecret
But there are lots of options and additional things you can specify - the ConnectionStrings.com web site shows and explains them all!
