SQL server connection

[KatiS2285]

Hi

I need to access sql server from a vm using 'Microsoft OLE DB provider for SQL server’.

I tested my connection, it works with ‘SQL Server Native Client 11.0’  but not MS OLE DB.

How could I fix it? Should I install any dll? if yes, where can I find it?

Sorry, I am just learning this stuff.

Thank you very much for your help

Good morning

Here is the error

when in Web.config, the provider name is {providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"} 

Thank you

You should check "SQL Server configuration manager--> protocols for mssqlserver --> tcp/ip" it must be enabled. After enabling restart the service

And also you may check the status of Windows firewall on database server. It must be disabled or allowed for SQL server ports (1433)
