Error when connecting remote SQL SERVER

16 New Member
Hi..

I have been assigned to make a database in some remote machine.The machine has MSSQL 2005.I need to connect to that remote machine's sql server via my pc using my SQL Management express.I do have that computer's IP address(say,123 .456.789.000),a nd the username and password.But when i try to connect to the server ,I get the following error:


Cannot connect to 123.456.789.000 \sqlexpress


An error has occured while establishing a connection to the server.When connecting to SQL server 2005,this failure may be caused by the fact that unser the default settings SQL server does not allow remote connections,(pr ovider: SQL Network Interfaces,erro r:26-Error Locating Server/Instance specified)(Micr osoft SQL Server)


I am a new programmer and dont know much.But i guess the problem is not in my server but in that server to which i am trying to connect.I guess that server has some instance created or it does not allow remote connections.But i am not sure.Is it so?Or is anything wrong in my server.Any ideas?

I downloaded the personal website starter kit and when I run it I get the error shown below. I found a way of using Launch Surface Area Configuration that is supposed to fix the remote setting but I tried it and still get the error. I do not have SQL Server 2005 installed (thought I did once). I do have SQL Server 2008 installed. I don't see anywhere in the code where SQL Server 2005 is referenced.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
