Sql connection error when connecting with broadband

  • When we connect database locally it works properly but when we use broadband or isdn then error occured:

    TCP Provider: No Connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it;

    Is SQL Server listening on default "1433" port ? Is SQL Server is behind the firewall ?

    If yes, Are you able to successfully telnet the port 1433 from your client machine ? If you are not able to telnet then you need to open the port 1433 for your client machine IP.

    I didn't getting ur point Please clearify ur Question

    No problem, what I mean to say is:

    1. Go to your client machine (the machine from where you are trying to connect the SQL Server).

    2. Open CMD and type:

    telnet <SQL Server IP addres here> 1433

    3. Press enter

    Do you get any error after that ? Post here the result.

    P.S. I assume that your SQL Server is running on default port (1433). You can check this information in SQL Server error log.
