SQL Server Connectivity

  • I need to to be able to connect to a SQL Server existing on my friend's hard drive.

    How do I go about it.

    He tried giving me access to the Server using windows login and by creating a sql server login but both did not work.

    Is there anything basic that I am missing.

    Thanks In Advance.

  • Using either methods, the client account must be known on the server side or an existing connection must exist between the two machines, for example connecting to the server in windows explorer under another user name. Using windows NT registration, I once noticed that empty passwords on the user account are not allowed.

  • You should be able to connect to it as long as you also have permission to the database.  How are you trying to connect?  Query Analyzer, ODBC, Enterprise Manager?  What error do you get?
