SQL Server Management tool(2005/2008) connecting to web MS SQL

Hi all

Am trying to coonect MS SQL Server management tool(tried 05 and 08) to a SQL Server database

I have checked with the Host and my setting seem correct woth ehosting ie server/ user/ password...selected tcp/ip as protocol

Anyone got any ideas what could be wrong?? Or what else I can test?

I even turned off the firewall to see if that was issue

cheers George

What kind of errors are you getting?

unable to connect to server.... when I first setup the website I had issues with TCP/ip configuration but checked this and it says enabled...so

There should be more to the message.... a timeout? invalid login?

well I was in dialup on laptop when it failed, got home and wireless through the same laptop works.... error 0 A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable network MS SQL Server error 10051

Why would dialup fail??

Because the connection is slower.... the ManagementStudio sends out the attempt to connect, it's expecting a reply within a certain time span.... otherwise it would sit there forever, waiting....
