Author Server Listing for TCP connection
N. Graves

2005-10-27, 9:25 am

I'm having trouble with an ODBC User that can't connect to 2003
Windows Server with SQL2000.

The ODBC fails when he tries to contact with TCP client connection.
When I view the Network Connection it is displaying TCP is checked,
but when I view the error log is doesn't display that it is listening
for TCP.

Is there any way to prove that my TCP connections are working
correctly or a way to make sure that my SQL server is listening for
TCP?

Thanks for reading my note and any help with this issue is greatly
appreciated.

When you are saying Network Connection, do you mean the Server Network
Utility?

Note that if you make a change here, it does not have effect until
you restart the server.

And, of course, watch out for Windows Firewall.

To test if you can connect via TCP to the server without worring about SQL
Security. Try

telnet ipaddressofserver port

example:
telnet myserver 1433
