| Hi,While I am trying to connect to MYSQL 2005 through a remote machine, I am getting Named pipes error 40 - could not open a connection to sql server.I have checked these many things so far:1) The credentials I am passing are correct2)The IP address and port of the server are also correct3)Checked the Surface Area Configuration Utility of client and TCP/IP was already enabled there.Not sure what else I can try to get this sorted. Any Help!!!Not sure what |
