well i think it is a helpful topic
any way, i get the "Virtual Machine Network Services" but when i try to ping my server, this didnt work
i try the server name it called avrail
also i try Local
and i try 127.0.0.1 this wroking good when i change the connection string to

vb Code:

"Data Source=127.0.0.1,1434;Initial Catalog=BMs;User ID=avrailRofa;Password=4746612;";

it didnt work and it gives me the same error
general network error check your network documentation

you cant connect to 127.0.0.1, thats a localhost ip address.
try the machine name or else create a fake network on your machine using a Loopback adapter (http://www.pocketpcdn.com/articles/e..._loopback.html)

ok, strider i try to connect to my server using its name
the server name is AVRAIL
but it still giving me the same Error
general network error check your network documentation

Hello,

Open your sql server and when the dialog opens to connect to a sql server, put in the user credentials for the sql server on the network that you want to connect to. If that works, then there must be something wrong with your connection string.
