Hi

Either SQL Server is not running or a firewall is blocking your connection.
Check what port SQL Server is configured to listen on (Server Network
Utility). It may not be the standard 1433.

Try http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...B;EN-US;q328306

I believe DBMSSOCN is obsolete. The library to use for TCP/IP is
DBNETLIB. Then again, you should really need Net Library in the
connection string at all.

well mike thanxs but
how i would come to know that a firewall is blocking and how to unblock
it
in eventlog last event written by the mssqlserver is "establishing
connection to the client"
in client and server network utility tcp/ip port is same--have also
tried 1433
take best care -- bye
