SQL Server: error when connecting
- by atricapilla
(migrated from stackoverflow)
The application I'm using tries to connect SQL Server named instance running on a dedicated database server. Here's the error I'm getting:
The TCP/IP connection to the host <instance_name>, port 1433 has failed. Error: Connection refused: connect.
Is the firewall blocking my access or what? Should I dedicate a different port for this application?
