Question
-
I encountered a problem with my SQL Server 2014 Standard edition. It is denying me access to the Management Studio and I cannot access the SQL Server from Visual Studio. The error message reads,
«Cannot connect to SQL. Additional information: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct
and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 — the remote computer refused the network connection.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 1225). The remote computer refused the network connection.»My SQL Server is a stand-alone installation and I have all the permissions. I would be grateful if anyone could help me with tips on how to solve this problem.
Thank you.
Longinus.

1. Make sure SQL Server Service is running
2. If a named instance, make sure SQL Server browser service is running
3. Make sure SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections
4. Examine the SQL Server error log for messages confirming that SQL is listening on the expected network interfaces and ports
5. Test server connectivity with PING from the client machine
6. Test port connectivity using TELNET or PowerShell to the server and port (from step 4) from the client machine. For example
a. TELNET <server-name> 1433
b. PowerShell: 1433 | % { echo ((new-object Net.Sockets.TcpClient).Connect(«YourServerName»,$_)) «server listening on TCP port $_» }
7. Check firewall settings if step 5 or 6 connectivity test fails

When try to connect to SQL Server from Microsoft Server Management Studio, I got an error: 1225 occurred; few days ago, it was working fine, but now this error occurs:
When try to start SQL Server from Services (local) Error 3417 occurred
When try to start to SQL Service Agent through services, then another error #1068 occurs:

When I faced similar issue, I did following:
- In windows
RUN
type eventvwr.msc (or go to WindowsEventViewer) - Windows Event viewer will be opened.
- Go to Application Events
- Try to login to sql server again (it will fail of-course)
- Now refersh the ApplicationEvents again.
- You will see the recent error even logged.
This will tell you exact error.
In my case, my SQL version was expired. And I only knew it from event log.
The only solution I had was to re-install sql server.

Who knows the mess you made. Just go to:
Start > Microsoft SQL Server 2019 > SQL Server Installation Center > Maintenance > Repair
and when it asks to «browse to the media folder» I found mine under
C:SQL2019Developer_ENU
the SETUP:EXE file is what you are looking for
follow all the steps of the Repair tool and you will be good to go

Question

The remote computer refused the network connection… I’m getting this error message which probably is very generic and I apologize for that however, not sure how to resolve this issue… So far I’m able to fix it by resetting my Setting > Accounts
«Sign in with a local account instead» to using my online Microsoft account… This problem came about when I started using my company’s VPN link to remote desktop into work… However, now it’s back again and not sure what to do?
Maybe this isn’t related but ever since my company started using a more secure method to log into work from home, my home system thinks the network is disconnected and I no longer can access any external devices, my SQL server, etc. until I disconnect
the VPN link and even then specifically my SQL Server will still give me that error message Error: 1225?

which port is running for mssql ?
On a default instance, SQL Server listens on TCP/1433 by default. This can be changed. On a named instance, unless configured differently, SQL Server listens on a dynamic TCP port. What that means is should SQL Server discover that the port is in use, it will
pick another TCP port. How clients usually find the right port in the case of a named instance is by talking to the SQL Server Listener Service/SQL Browser. That listens on UDP/1434 and cannot be changed. If you have a named instance, you can configure a static
port and if you have a need to use Kerberos authentication/delegation, you should.What you’ll need to determine is what port your SQL Server is listening on. Then you’ll need to get with your networking/security folks to determine if they allow communication to that port via VPN. If they are, as indicated, check your firewall settings. Some
systems have multiple firewalls (my laptop is an example). If so, you’ll need to check all the firewalls on your system.If all of those are correct, verify the server doesn’t have an IPSEC policy that restricts access to the SQL Server port via IP address. That also could result in you being blocked.

There was an ip change on the sql server and after that I cannot connect from other machines ssms but can connect locally .
The firewall is disabled on the server and moreover its listening on port 1433 and all the network protocols are open named pipes, shared memory and tcpip.
TCP/IP properties IPAII — TCP port set to 1433 and TCP Dynamic Ports are blank
Am i missing something?

Possible Solutions
-
Did you restart the SQL Server instance after the IP address was changed? If not, then the SQL Server was possibly still listening on the old IP address.
-
When connecting locally you normally utilise the Shared Memory connection, that is why you were able to connect locally, but not from remote (see 1.). The Shared Memory connection does not require the IP address. You can verify this by running the following query after connecting locally:
select sdec.net_transport, sdec.session_id, sdes.login_name from sys.dm_exec_connections as sdec join sys.dm_exec_sessions as sdes on sdec.session_id = sdes.session_id
Possible output:
net_transport session_id login_name ------------------------------------------------- TCP 51 NT SERVICEReportServer Shared memory 52 DomainAccount Shared memory 55 NT SERVICESQLSERVERAGENT Shared memory 54 NT SERVICESQLSERVERAGENT Shared memory 53 NT SERVICESQLSERVERAGENT Session 55 NT SERVICESQLSERVERAGENT Session 55 NT SERVICESQLSERVERAGENT Shared memory 56 NT SERVICEReportServer Shared memory 57 DomainAccount TCP = IP Connection Shared memory = Local Connection
Your local connection would show up as a Shared memory connection.
-
Did you flush the DNS cache on your other server/computer before you tried connecting? Sometimes cleaning the cache will resolve IP <> Hostname resolutions issues:
ipconfig /flushdns
-
Verifying the network configuration in the SQL Server Configuration Manager can help resolve issues. Possible errors:
- IP Address does not exist (See 1.: Reboot Instance)
- IP Address is not configured to listen (Set
Enabled: Yes
andActive: Yes
)
-
After rebooting the SQL Server instance check the SQL Server Errorlog file to verify that it is indeed listening on the TCP stack:
2018-08-30 16:15:47.12 spid15s Server is listening on [ 'any' <ipv6> 1433]. 2018-08-30 16:15:47.13 spid15s Server is listening on [ 'any' <ipv4> 1433]. 2018-08-30 16:15:47.13 spid15s Server local connection provider is ready to accept connection on [ \.pipeSQLLocalMSSQLSERVER ]. 2018-08-30 16:15:47.13 spid10s The resource database build version is 12.00.5589.

This is an informational message; no user action is required.
This instance was previously not listening on the TCP stack:

It could be a firewall rule that hasn’t been adapted to the new IP address of the server. In that case you would have to have your company’s network department look at the rules on the firewall and fix the rule for your server or if you only having issues with your Windows Firewall, check the rules there.
