I have a New default instance of SQL2k5 installed and i am trying to setup access to the this via a vpn.

The VPN is setup and allows access to the server and can T/S to the server and perform everything all ok.

When trying to connect over the VPN with SSMS installed on my laptop I am able to connect using Windows authentication only by using Named Pipes. To accomplish this i perform a Net Use ..... and everything works fine.

However if i specify in the connection tab to use TCP/IP it fails with an unknown username or password. The Event Viewer on the server shows this and for what ever reason the username / pwd is that of my laptop and not of the account used in the VPN setup or the net use.

Also if i try to connect to the SQL Server over the VPN using VS 2005 it also gives the same issue.

I need to get this sorted so that TCP is able to be used.

Thx in advance

Can you use SQL authentication instead? I'm not sure that there is a way to control the current security context that is passed to SQL Server.

I am not really sure on this but i created an alias to the Instance using TCP/IP and i was able to connect to the instance using the alias and also by NT auth utilizing the TCP/IP.

i then disconnected and tried just connecting to the instance and it works.

no changes. but this is very bizare

Did you specify ip address and port number in alias? If so, means there was naming resolution issue.
