Connection Problem

[AngelOfLight122]

For some reason everytime i configure my site, i get an error :

[B]Warning[/B]: mssql_connect() [[URL="http://forum.ragezone.com/function.mssql-connect"]function.mssql-connect[/URL]]: Unable to connect to  server: 207.1**.***.*** in [B]C:\Program Files\Abyss Web  Server\htdocs\dbconnect.php[/B] on line [B]6[/B]

[B]Warning[/B]:  mssql_select_db() [[URL="http://forum.ragezone.com/function.mssql-select-db"]function.mssql-select-db[/URL]]: Unable to connect  to server: (null) in [B]C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\config.php[/B]  on line [B]17[/B]

It is two separate computers on two different networks... Firewalls have been disabled for the time being. I know that in mysql there is a way to remote connection this.....Is there some function in mssql that is keeping me from doing this fucntion? is so please help.

So are we debating on whether this is a problem, or whether or not you have any intelligence?

Wow i was happy the activity went up in the section and then bam look at this. Well movinmg to Coders maybe you'll get help there.

Error message is meaningless without the actual error code.

Saying it "won't connect" is as useful as saying it "doesn't work".

Tried connecting manually to the server with whatever command line client MSSQL has?

If you use MSSQL, be sure to allow remote incoming connections. By default, they aren't.

Better yet, use an ODBC connection.
