Dear mentors,

I am using the following connection string to connect my database server-
"Data Source='192.168.2.172\SQLEXPRESS,2301'; Initial Catalog=BMDA; Integrated Security=SSPI; Timeout=60;"

when i am connecting from the same PC it works nice. But when i try to connect from remote pc on LAN, it shows "... Login failed foruser MYCOMP\Guest... ",

i have enabled tcp/ip on sql.

am i missing something?

Please guide me.

Solution 1

SQL Server Express does not accept remote connections by default. You have to enable that on the SQL Server machine. It may also help if you verified it will accept TCP/IP connections too.
