wutske 0 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 MySQL is configured to not allow any remote connections, this is for security reasons (because the webserver and database server are often on the same machine). You'll have to change your MySQL configuration to allow remote connections and also grant your user remote access to your tables. This should get you going: https://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/how-do-i-enable-remote-access-to-mysql-database-server.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OpaQue 15 Report post Posted October 21, 2012 2 things to ensure to connect to Mssql Remote Database.1. Ensure Firewall is not blocking incoming connections to the port used by MSSQL.2. MSSQL database / user should whitelist the IP of the client. Allow connection other than localhost. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FirefoxRocks 0 Report post Posted November 12, 2012 This issue still a problem.No issue found.please share how to for this topic. First of all, the values you provided for IP addresses are private IP addresses. That means your 4 laptops must be on the same private network as the MS SQL server, or else you need to configure your router to do port forwarding to the MS SQL database server.Are you able to see the server within your workgroup? I'm assuming all of the computers are running Windows as you are using MS SQL. If not, there may be a network setting configured incorrectly.Have you configured SQL Server to allow remote connections? https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/914277 The support article is for SQL Server 2005, but you may be able to find a similar option for SQL Server 2008 or other versions.
