Shared Server Configuration

Does anyone know why I get this error message while installing sql server 2005 express?
The error is "SQL Server Setup could not connect to the database service for server configuration. The error was: [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Shared Memory Provider: Timeout error [258]. Refer to server error logs and setup logs for more information. For details on how to view setup logs, see "How to View Setup Log Files" in SQL Server Books Online." I tried running it as administrator (I have windows vista) , but didn't work... Pleeease help!

Your question, "does anyone know . . . ?," was well stated. The answer to that question is that certainly SOMEONE knows. But why don't you just follow the instructions? I hope you find that someone. .

How do I set up a home server?
My computer is part of home network, shared using Linksys wireless router. My computer is serving a website locally using Apache. Everything is fine. Now I want to make my webiste acessible through Internet. So I open router configuration and enter port forwarding (port 80 to my local ip). Then I tried "http://myExternalRouterIP" on other computer in and out of the network, my Apache is not responding. I changed to 8080 in Apache config, the same problem occured. My ISP does not block incoming requests. Because I can access my router configuration remotely, if I enable it. There are very few firewall options inside the configuration panel. Block Anonymous Internet Requests Filter Multicast Filter Internet NAT Redirection Filter IDENT(Port 113) I disabled option 1 and 3. Anyone else using Linksys Wiressless router and having the same problem? dear brendan_erofeev, Yes other computers in the local network can access my website. I believe Apache configurations are alright. I just suspect Linksys settings. Because there are not enough firewall options.

It is possible that Apache is only set to respond to local clients, or only the client it is installed on. Can other PCs on your local network access via its local name? Unfortunately, I can't tell you how to change this option because depending on how you have Apache installed (on Windows, Linux Box, whether you have a GUI installed to control it etc...) the way to check and change this can be very different, but I am sure that if you poke around a bit you will be able to find the setting. It will probably be called something like "Access List"

How to connect sql server 2005 express with vb 2005 express?
Hi there, I'm having trouble when connecting the database as i get the error "unable to open the physical file 'C:\Program FIles\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\datB... system error 32:'32(the process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.)'An attempt to attch an auto-named database for file C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Data\datB... failed.A database with the same name exists, or specified file cannot open or it is located on UNC share," Im using Windows Authentication and data source(MS SQL Server Database File(SqlClient) The configuration to allow remote connection has also been done.Im not sure what the problem is. Btw, Im creating the database using sql server 2005 express Pls help me on this. Thanks folks!

This problem happens when one of three things are true: 1. The file is locked by another program, such as the Management Studio console; 2. You have modified the file by uploading it, moving it, renaming it or otherwise having the file system lock the file. 3. You are not using a proper connection string. It looks to me like you have problem 3; specifically, you are probably using the AttachDataBase parameter in your connection string, which is a bad idea in most cases. Assuming you are using SqlClient, as you stated, your connection string for a SqlClient connection would be like: Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS; Database=Northwind; Integrated Security=True Please note that you must authenticate as MACHINE\ASPNET, where MACHINE is the name of the server and ASPNET is the name of the ASP.NET worker process (usually aspnet_wp), if you are going to use Windows integrated authentication with your database and you are running an anonymous Web site (that is, you are not using Windows authentication on your site). If you are using Windows authentication on your site, then every person who logs in to your Web site must have the requisite permissions to access the database resources you use. Which is why creating a SQL user for your application makes far more sense. Let's suppose you create a SQL user MYUSER with a password MYPASS. In that case, your connection string becomes: Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS; Database=Northwind; User ID=MYUSER; Password=MYPASS; And that way, you don't have to worry about granting database permissions to every authenticated user, or worse, to the lowly ASP.NET worker process, which by design is normally underprivileged to make life a lot harder on hackers.

SQL Server No Longer Connects?
I am a beginner with SQL Server. So if you give directions on how do fix this, please be put it on the dumest level you can think of, because I do not have a lot of knowledge in configurations and how they work. Situation: I turned on my computer and I got some error messages saying some files were corrupt and to run chkutil. I did this and restarted. After I restarted, I tried to access SQL server from SQL Query analyzer and Enterprise Manager. I got messages stating: [Microsoft] [ODBC SQL Server Drive] [Shared Memory] SQL Server does not exist or access denied. When I try to do some alternative things, I may get the following error: Server: Msg 17, Level 16, State 1 I am running SQL Server on my own computer and no others at this time. I think my computer is having trouble finding SQL Server because of whatever my computer did to fix corrupted files. I tried the MS Website. I tried some of the things listed there without getting anywhere. Please help. Programmer error doesn't make any sense to me, because I am trying to connect, not program anything. I am unsure if reinstalling will help. I did see online that a person reinstalled and still had the error. However, I will try it after I've seen. Maybe someone has had this problem before and fixed it?

May be ur SQL server get corrupted, Reinstall SQL server again.

When I check the Network and sharing center, it says my laptop is connecting to the network, but no connection to internet. see below: access : Local only Connetion : Wireless network connection (my_linksys) signal strength: Excellent. I did diagnostics, it says " There may be a problem with your Domain name server (DNS) configuration". however, my other 2 laptops which run on winXP can connect to internet without issue. anybody out there can help?

I would go to network and sharing center. then click o n the manage network connections. Then right click on the connection your tring to use and then go down to properties. Then once there click on the ipv4 or ipv6 or both if there and click on properties for each one. make sur ethey are both set up to obtain ip adress automatically. then once you did that i would restart the computer and then try to connect again. if this doesnt work email me.

Windows 2003 Server DHCP Question??
Hello: I just installed windows 2003 server and need to have 8-10 computers connect to this server to access other computers and share a Internet connection. It looks like I have two options in getting to this goal. The first would be ICS and the second would be to setup a DHCP server. I have chosen to setup a DHCP server. My questions is about the two NIC cards. The first NIC card has the following information: (ISP gave me this info.) IP 220.130.183.7 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 220.130.183.254 DNS: 168.95.192.1 DNS: 168.95.1.1 I have setup the DHCP server to share the IP range of 192.168.1.2-192.168.1.245 and the gateway of 220.130.183.254. I inputed the below information: IP: 192.168.1.3 Subnet: 255.255.255.0 Gateway: 220.130.183.254 DNS: 168.95.192.1 Are my configurations correct? When I try to connect a client I can't connect. I would imagine it is my 2nd NIC because I can see all of my clients, but can't connect to the Internet. Please Help!

The outside NIC is OK I think. DHCP should not be giving out 220.130.183.254 as the gateway as the computers on the internal network wont be able to reach that. should be the internal NIC in the server IP: 192.168.1.3 -- OK Subnet: 255.255.255.0 -- OK Gateway: 220.130.183.254 -- should be the internal NIC of the server DNS: 168.95.192.1 -- Again the internal NIC of the server You would still have to set up ICS for this to work. And you need a functional DNS server in your network for this to be functional and stable. Do you have a router? All of that ISP information should be in the router and the server should point at the router on the outside NIC. This is really all very dependent on what style on Internet connection you are working with. I am not a fan of using this type of connection, rather i like the hardware firewal protecting the networking and everything sending its traffic through a good piece of hardware that is intended to to be use for that. Microsoft's ICS is just another integration to the same box and if it goes down, so does all network communications. Not a fan.

Need help with a router and with a 4 port switch?
I have a D-Link DI 604 router with a 4 port switch. I would like to connect 4 systems to the 4 ports and make 1 of those systems as a server with a share drive on it. This share drive needs to be accessed by the other 3 systems using 'map drive' utility or by making it as a 'network place'. Also the router is used to share internet. How do i do that? Since the router assigns dynamic ips, does 'map drive' technique work with this configuration? Should I make all the computers to a new work group and try? Please advice.

1. Give the server a static IP, make sure that it is in the same subnet as the routers DHCP Pool. Thats very straight forward and thats enough, the other PC's will be able to map the drives but beware after a restart everytime you will have to map to the server. This is because everytime the PC's get a new address they will loose the mapping information. 2. The second way is little time consuming but will work for sure Do the following 2a. Give all the systems static IP. 2b. Give them all default gateway pointing to the Router IP address 2c. Give them DNS server address as that of the router. Make sure that all the ip address are in the same subnet as that of the Routers IP. I am sure that this will work
