Error while connecting to server

10 New Member
My server is on Windows XP pro. Its Sql Server 2000.
When I am trying to access it from a client machine through ASP .Net, it is giving me an exception while opening the connection conn.Open();

System.Data.SQL Client.SQLExcep tion.
{"Cannot open database requested in login 'Database Name'. Login fails.\r\nLogin failed for user 'sa'."}

I tried everything. Change the configuration mode of the server to mixed configuration mode, enabled TCP/IP etc.

No idea what could be the problem.
Do server installations need to have a check at some necessary things/configurations? ?

Please help.

Hi,
shikha...
do as given below.....
Open the Notepad and blank file save with ".udl" extension on desktop... than double click that file than you will get one window for database connection called datalink Properties... in that window select Provider as sql server and than select server and username and password then select database then test the connection if it succeds...
than open again that file in notepad u will get connection string so copy this connection string in web.config file....
definately your problem will be solved.....

I'm no stranger to this error message, but I have a client who is experiencing it, but, fortunately, without any actual data corruption, and it's driving them made. Their inability to grasp that the cause is fundamentally a networking problem is also making me pull my hair out. Some history: The network is composed of five computers dating back to 1995, each purchased one at a time, and each having a different OS, etc. Until

Hi all, I would like to ask for some help regarding separating the asp.net webserver and the sql server. I have created an asp.net application for a certain company. Initially, we installed both the iis and sql server in a single machine. Not too long ago, the machine had some hardware problems, and management has decided to purchase new servers, for both asp.net and sql server.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
