I have an application which requires a connection to DB running on SQL
server 2005. The client OS is running Windows 2003 SP1. When trying to
configure the connection, I get the following error:
Connection Failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 10060
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]ConnectionOpen(Connect())
Connection failed:
SQLState:'08001'
SQL Server Error: 17
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCIP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not
exist or access denied.
Everything was working fine on this server, however after a regularly
scheduled reboot this stopped working and connection to the database is
broken....
I have tried everything, nothing seem to be working. The SQL server is
working fine, I am able to connect to the server from other clients without
any issues, so I know it has to be something on this Win2k3 server, but can't
figure out what. I even installed the SQL Server 2005 client to see if that
will help no luck. I suspect a ODBC driver issue but not sure.
Any help in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
