    Hi
    This message is, when the connection to the db-server doesn’t work.
    - physical: cabling, server down, ...
    - wrong adress for the database: name
    - wrong connection.

    Try to establish a new connection with a different alias name.

    Good luck!

    Hi.
    When I turn off firewall on win 2003, it connect successfully. But I can let the server turning off firewall all the times.
    Which port should I open on the server.
    My SQL express use port 1433 so I opened port 1433 but in vain.
    Regard
