check to make sure your SQL server is listening on tcp port 1433 (unless you have changed the default port). You can either do a netstat -an from the sql box or from the client machine try
telnet sql-server-ip 1433 If you get a response your traffic is getting through. If not you've either got something in the way (firewall) or a problem with your SQL network libraries. I actually just had this problem yesterday so if that is it I'll tell you what worked for me. Have you made any configuration changes to SQL recently? </rob> -----Original Message----- From: Mario Martinez [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, May 30, 2002 12:10 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: SQL server trouble Hi all friends: I got a coldfusion system with an SQL server . Today I came in here and I realize that I can't connect this SQL server from any other computer through ODBC . I could do that before , now none of my remotly ODBC connections are working This is the error I receive when I try to connect remotly: Connection failed SQLState:'01000' SQL Server Error: 10061 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver ][TCP/IP Sockets]ConnectionOpen(connect()). Connection failed: SQLState: '08001' SQL Server Error: 11 [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]General network error. Check your network documentation. Any ideas will be more than appreciate. regards Mario ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
