RE: Can't access linked server, except from



Hi Jide,
you have to ensure that Named Pipes is turned on as a Client Protocol.
You do this by opening up SQL Server Configuration Manager from the Sql
Server program group.
Underneath the SQL Native Client Configuration you find the Client Protocols
- here the Named Pipes protocol have to be enabled...

That may be the reason - at least its disabled at default.

Hi, (excuse my poor english).

I want to access data stored on a SQL2000 server using
"SELECT * FROM openquery(SQL2000srv, ..." from a
connection on my SQL2005 server.

I checked "Allow remote connections" on both servers, and
configured Nammed pipes as prefered protocol.
Security is Windows authentification only for both servers.

If I test my query on Management studio on my 2005 server,
everything is OK. But when I test from any other machine,
I have this error : (sorry, I translated it from french :
OLE DB 'SQLNCLI' from linked server returns 'Connection timeout'.
Msg 5, level 16, state 1, Line 0
Nammed pipes : can't open connection to SQL Server [5]. ".).

I can connect to both servers using any connection, so it's not
a user security problem, I think.

Do you have any clues ?

Thank you,

Jidé.
