I've got a SQL Server Desktop Engine (version 8.00.2039 - SP4) installation
running our SharePoint site. I now need to connect to this database remotely
via TCP/IP, but can't get it to enable the protocol.
The log file always just says:
2007-12-11 12:13:46.39 server Using 'SSNETLIB.DLL' version '8.0.2039'.
2007-12-11 12:13:46.39 server SQL server listening on Shared Memory.
I've tried all the suggestions I've heard on the internet. What I've tried:
Install the latest MSDE Service Pack (SP4)
Use SVRNETCN.exe to enable the TCP/IP Protocol
Enable TCP/IP, Set to Port 0, Restart Service, Set to Port 1433, Restart
Service.
I've hard reset the machine, I've installed all the latest service packs on
this machine. I've disabled the firewall. I've tried ports other than 1433.
I've tried enabling Named Pipes & NWLink at various times as well. No matter
what I do, the log still shows it listening only on shared memory.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated as I'm completely stumped.
