Locating S

I recently uploaded my site to the internet. But now, when I try to to log in, I receive the following error message:

An error has occurred while establishing a connection tothe server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may becaused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does notallow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26- Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

How do I fix this?

I assumed you mean you get this error when you uploaded your site to your hosting service.

This error usually means that your ASP.NET application is trying to connect to a SQL Express database. In general, very few webhosting provider support SQL Express because it is not intended for production use. Does your host offer SQL 2005? If so, migrate your data to the SQL 2k5 database and update your application's connection string in the web.config (or in the code itself) to point to the SQL 2k5 database.

Hope this helps.

Localisation bug?

Can you tell me if this is a bug?
My browser language (Internet Explorer version 6) is set to English (United
Kingdom) [en-gb].
I have 2 reports based on the AdventureWorks2000 database.
The first report is:
SELECT PurchaseOrderID, EmployeeID, OrderDate
FROM PurchaseOrderHeader
WHERE EmployeeID = @.EmployeeID
ORDER BY OrderDate DESC
The second report is:
SELECT PurchaseOrderID, EmployeeID, OrderDate
FROM PurchaseOrderHeader
WHERE EmployeeID = @.EmployeeID AND OrderDate = @.OrderDate
I have created an ACTION link (using "Jump to Report") from the first report
to the second report which sets the parameters(@.EmployeeID & @.OrderDate)
accordingly. (ie. @.EmployeeID = Fields!EmployeeID.Value; @.OrderDate = Fields!OrderDate.Value. @.EmployeeID is type integer; @.OrderDate is type
DateTime).
Everything works as expected unless I perform the following steps:
1. Run the Report1 (deployed version) [report displays succesfully]
2. Click on the action link to jump to Report2 [report displays succesfully]
3. Click the "refresh" toolbar button (not Internet Explorer Refresh)
[ERROR!!]
The Error is:
Reporting Services Error
---
The value provided for the report parameter 'OrderDate' is not valid for
its type. (rsReportParameterTypeMismatch) Get Online Help
---
Notes:
--
1. If I run Report2 independantly, the refresh button works.
2. Everything works from VS.Net "preview" tab. It is only when deployed
that the error occurs.
3. If I set my Internet Explorer language to English(United States) [en-us]
then the error goes away!
Is this a bug?
Cheers,
JoeI've found a workaround (on this newsgroup) for this bug but it's not ideal:
Instead of using the 'Jump to Report' action you can use the 'Jump to URL'
action and specify the language setting there as follows:
=Globals!ReportServerUrl & "?/Development1/PODetail&EmployeeID=" &
Parameters!EmployeeID.Value & "&OrderDate=" & Fields!OrderDate.Value &
"&rs:ParameterLanguage=en-GB"
... and hey presto it works!

local ip address

i've got a ms access mdb connected to a sql server on the internet.
whats the quickest way to get the ipaddress on the client machine from
the client machine? since there is a existing connection, shudn't there
be a simple method call that returns the ipaddress on the connection or
something?
the solutions i've seen r very ugly :(
riyazYou can get the MAC address of the client by doing this...
select net_address from master..sysprocesses where spid = @.@.spid
You then need to do processing outside of SQL Server in order to relate the
net_address to an IP address.

>|||yup i'm already getting the mac address like that. but i can't find any
clean function that relates the mac to the ipaddr. the code on the
mvp.org site returns a collection which i don't think can be related to
the mac
how can this be done?
? possible bug?
!!! i noticed the following when using access2003 over the internet to
sqlserver2000 !!!
when using my laptop with wifi, the net_address returned by
sysprocesses is INCORRECT. it returns my LAN mac_address when it shud
return my wifi mac_address since i'm connected the internet thru wifi.
can anybody duplicate this?
riyaz|||>> yup i'm already getting the mac address like that. but i can't find any
All you have to do is to use the address resolution protocol mapping. On
your command prompt, simply type in ARP -a. It should give you a table of
mapping between all MAC & IP addresses.
It is not that hard to get this information from t-SQL ( script or within a
procedure )using master..xp_cmdshell & get the IP address.

am working in access2003. could u give me an idea as to how i might go
about doing this?
i have 2 ip-addresses both dynamically allocated. i wud prefer a
general solution
riyaz|||I wrote this here just for you:
CREATE PROCEDURE usp_getboundAddresses
AS
BEGIN
SET NOCOUNT ON
IF OBJECT_ID('tempdb..#SomeTable') IS NULL
CREATE TABLE #SomeTable
(
ShellOutput VARCHAR(500)
)
INSERT INTO #SomeTable
EXEC xp_cmdshell 'nbtstat -a .'
SELECT
SUBSTRING( ShellOutput,
CHARINDEX('[',ShellOutput)+1,
LEN(ShellOutput) - CHARINDEX(']',ShellOutput) -2
) AS BoundAddress
from #SomeTable
WHERE ShellOutput LIKE '%Node IpAddress%' --the important lines
AND ShellOutput NOT LIKE '%0.0.0.0%' --Unassigned addresses
DROP TABLE #SomeTable
END
Returning the network adresses of the server.

Local Intranet mode versus Internet mode.

Hi,

Currently, our Report Builder is running on Local Intranet mode. I'm investigating what the security implications are in changing it to Internet mode. However, I've not been able to find any documentation on this.

Does anyone know of any documentation that addresses this issue or have experience that they can share with changing Report Builder security zone from Intranet mode to Internet mode?

Thanks very much.

Invest in firewalls/routers... both for your users and server at work.
