Hi,
I am not able to connect to a SQL instance (SQL 2008 R2) remotely properly.
I am able to connect to it locally. Actually, remotely we CAN connect but only when we keep the Connetion timeout settings to something like 1500 secs.
The connection is too slow and I cannot run any queries using Management studio.
There is NO network issue as I am able to connect to other servers in that network.
When I try OSQL/SQLCMD I get the below error:
D:\Documents and Settings\>osql /S ,1433 /E
[SQL Native Client]TCP Provider: A connection attempt failed because the
connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or
established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond.
[SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired
[SQL Native Client]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.
I have tried without PORT number too, same result.
SQL browser is working, I have added SSMS,SQLCMD/OSQL to firewall exceptions on the target server.
Any idea, what could be the problem???
