I have SQL Server 2005 running on my local computer (OS Windows 2000). I also have SLQ Server 2005 running on a server (64 bit OS Windows 2003)

I need to copy a table from a DB on my local server to a DB on the server.

On my local computer I can see and connect to the DB on the server. No problem.

But when I remote desktop to the server and try to connect to the server on my local computer I get the error:

Error has occurred trying to establish connection to the server… under default settings server does not allow remote connections…

Both servers are set to the default settings. What settings do I need to change so that I can connect to my local server from the other server?

Did you allow a remote desktop on the server? Cause by default, this option is tick.

You need enable remote access in sql server surface configuration manager, and ensure tcp/ip and/or named pipes protocols are enabled.

valdyv - I can remote desktop into the remote server.

rmiao - I will look in BOL for remote access .

It is interesting that the server on my local computer connected to the remote server no problem with default settings. But the remote server could not see my local sxerver.
