| I am completely new at this so i might need a lot of help. My problem is the following:Im trying to Specify a username and password for WhatsUp Gold to use when connecting to SQL Server 2005 Express for this I have to follow several steps:a- From the Windows Start menu, select Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Data Sources and select the System DSN tab.b- Select the WhatsUp DSN and click Configure. The Configuration wizard opens.- Verify that the fields in the first dialog are correct for your SQL Server authentication preferences, then click Next.c- On the second dialog, verify that the With SQL Server authentication using login ID and password entered by the user option is selected. In the Login field, enter the SQL username. In the Password field, enter the SQL user's password. And here comes my problem, doing this step i get the following error:[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [53]. [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired[Microsoft][SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.The default user name and password of the WHATSUP GOLD services:user name: saPassword: WhatsUp_Gold |
