How do I configure a connection
to use tcp-ip sockets with SQL Server? Run the SQL Client Configuration program on the client in question and follow these steps :- Select the Advanced Tab In the Server box type in the name your application will use to reference the server. For DLL Name select TCP/IP Sockets. For a server name that will be resolved to a numeric IP address just enter the name into the Connection string. (This should work if you can PING that server by name.) For a numeric IP address just type the IP address into the Connection String. If you want to use a different port from the default (1433 is the default) follow the IP name or address with a comma and the alternate port. For example: 123.123.123.123,1434 Hit the Add/Modify Button. That should do it |
