  • Hi Dave,

    Its a gr8 feeling reading ur Articles & how deeply & in simple words u Explain various topics. Hatz off to ur Research & Efforts.

    I have a Query & i am quite sure u have a solution to it.

    I am facing a problem Trying to connect Remote servers SQL 2005 to SQL 2000 using Linked Server
    It was Easy on LAN but Over Internet i am Strugling Hard
    —Config—
    Server 1
    Windows Server 2003 SP2 —
    Sql Server 2005 Enterprise E. Version 9.00.3073.00

    Server 2
    Windows Server 2003 — Sql Server 2000
    ———
    I set the Linked Server with Same Server Name (Just for Safe check)
    Provider MS OLE DB for SServer
    Product Name : SQLOLEDB
    Security : Be made using the Security Context
    & username & password

    An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 – No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)

    I tried every bits & Pieces like
    the configuration Manager is Set with TCP/IP on 1433
    read most of the material on Google

    I even came accross a Blob where u had a debate over the same with Microsoft. & den u had done a spl. setup with Machine to prove the Error….

    Thanks a Ton
    & Good Wishes

  • Just wanted to note that the issue and instructions in the KB article also apply to a SQL Server 2008 64-bit system linking to SQL 2000 SP4 32-bit. The instructions in this KB article fixed my issue. Thanks.
