    Please verify your network settings / connectivity. It doesn't look like SQL server Issue.

    Error 53

    The most common symptom of a problem in NetBIOS name resolution is when the Ping utility returns an Error 53 message. The Error 53 message is generally returned when name resolution fails for a particular computer name. Error 53 can also occur when there is a problem establishing a NetBIOS session.

  • Sql browser service is running...

  • in the server name enter this.

  • 1) Enable TCP/IP protocol

    2) Enable Remote Connections

  • Is remote connections enabled on the server? By default it is disabled. Moreover, which windows platform are you using for you SQL Server?

  • sql server in DMZ. so can't ping it, i can only access using a perticuler port,

    i checked all the setting in network configure,

    i stucked 🙁

    please help...

  • have you checked the SQL Server Configuration Manager on the server?

    under SQL Server Network Configuration, Protocols for ~INSTANCENAME~ (named instance), or Protocols for MSSQLSERVER (default instance), check that Named Pipes and TCPIP are enabled?

    right click on TCPIP, select IP Addresses, find the IP Address of the server, as you may have IPV6 and IPV4, check the TCP Port. Also check the IPAll, TCPPort as well

    Make sure that it is 1455 that the server is running on

    On a seperate note, are you sure you want your SQL Server in the DMZ?

    Have you taken all the nessesary security messures to ensure that only SQL traffic can access the server?

    Does the server have its own firewall?

    Pretty risky business having SQL in the DMZ, would always have it on the internal zone, outside of the DMZ but thats just me.
