Please tell me I have something setup wrong.. I can't connect to my SQL server. I get this error:

------------------------------

Cannot connect to 69.16.210.14.

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.  When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 53)

 I've also tried connecting through the web based MyLittleAdmin and it will show me the system databases but when I try to expand the User Databases section ts says "URL requested does not exist".

 

Please help..

Try adding port# 937 to the IP like so:

69.16.210.14,937

If that doesn't work, submit a support ticket to support@ultimahosts.net

I have the exact same problem.

Also cannot connect with sqlcmd or telnet. There are no firewalls blocking me as I can connect fine to another remote SQL server.

Any ideas?

Did you try adding port# 937 to the Server/IP as mentioned in my previous post?  If that doesn't work, email support@ultimahosts.net

Yep, doing that throws a remote server actively refused connection (or similar). Keeping to the standard 1433 port it says server didn't respond in a timely matter.

Opened a support ticket now, they're usually rather quick so :) Thanks though.

Yes, they are quick.  They probably need to enable SQL Management Studio access for your database/server.  They locked it down a while back.

Just use this for your server name in Management Studio [do not change your website settings]

69.16.211.96,937

as a replacement for

69.16.210.14
