When trying to install, we get to the point of selecting a current database server and get the following error: cannot connect to the SQL server. an aerror has occured while establishing a connection to the server. error 25.
You are connecting to a remote DB? Have you ensure named pipes is enabled under remote connections and no firewalls are blocking access?
Yes to both, we ensured that TCPIP and Named pipes are enabled and the firewall is turned off.
I also created an ODBC to point to the SQL server.
Have you tried to make an osql connection from the command line?
Also, what version of SQL?
