| I have a software to connect the SQL Server as DB, and it is ok to connect to the SQL Server 2000 on the remote server in our firm, but got errors when doing the connection to the SQL Server 2005. the error messages are:Error #1: ADO Error #-2147467259 Description SQL Network Interfaces: Error Locating Server/Instance Specified [xFFFFFFFF]. Source Microsoft SQL Native Client Error #2: ADO Error ##-2147467259 Description An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connection to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. Source Microsoft SQL Native Client Error #3: ADO Error ##-2147467259 Description Login timeout expired Source Microsoft SQL Native Client I'm using SQL Server 2005 version 9.00.1399.00, not the Express version. Should I update the SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration in SQL Server Configuation Manager? But I don't know what should be set to "Enable" or Disabled". Is any other place need be configured? Thanks. |

| Check that in surface area configuration, and check if sql browser service is running. |
