Connection failed: SQLState: '01000' SQL Server Error: 10061 [duplicate]

Question

I'm trying to connect my access front-end to the SQL Server backend.

It was working when SQL Server was on my computer but now i'm trying to connect to a server

So when I create the DSN file with access

1. I chose SQL-Server driver ( I have also tried with SQL-Server native 10.0 )
2. I enter the server name that I copied from SQL Management Studio so there's no typo there
3. I chose the NT authentication

Then I have this error

In the properties, I tried with TCP/IP with the default port 1433 and I also tried with the name pipes

I made sure that the checkbox to allow remote connection is checked

If I try to connect with management studio I got this error

I can see the server when I browse on the network

I'm trying this troubleshotting but i'm stuck with the telnet command. It says Could not open connection to host on 1433

I also tried with no port and i got the same error on port 23

Any ideas?

Thank you

To create a new Data source to SQL Server, do the following steps:

1. In host computer/server go to Sql server management studio --> open Security Section on left hand --> right click on Login, select New Login and then create a new account for your database which you want to connect to.

2. Check the TCP/IP Protocol is Enable. go to All programs --> Microsoft SQL server 2008 --> Configuration Tools --> open Sql server configuration manager. On the left hand select client protocols (based on your operating system 32/64 bit). On the right hand, check TCP/IP Protocol be Enabled.

3. In Remote computer/server, open Data source administrator. Control panel --> Administrative tools --> Data sources (ODBC).

4. In User DSN or System DSN , click Add button and select Sql Server driver and then press Finish.

5. Enter Name.

6. Enter Server, note that: if you want to enter host computer address, you should enter that`s IP address without "\\". eg. 192.168.1.5 and press Next.
