Are you using port 1521 to connect the SQL client to the database? Is the firewall blocking it?

I finally decided to try the easier option, MSSQL 2008. I also upgraded my laptop to Windows 7. That all went fine. Then installed MSSQL, set all pre install tasks as per the Install-750.pdf - ARSystem database, ARAdmin user, roles, specified TCP port 1521 I have tried running installer under both Windows Auth and SQL Sever Auth, both give following error and I am unable to proceed. "TCP connection to the host acer using port number 1521 failed, possible causes Database services are not running/available Net config not configured correctly for TCPIP protocol IP or host name/port number is not correct" I can connect to SQL Server Management Studio with either Windows Auth or SQL Server Auth. So why is installer saying it can't connect to d/b instance?? Help, I'll have no more hair shortly or worse - give up! _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org attend wwrug10 www.wwrug.com ARSlist: "Where the Answers Are"
