Hello, I have installed 1 vm with Windows Server 2012 and SQL Server 2014 Express and 1 vm with Windows 10 and Excel. Now I would like to connect the two over a ODCB connection but the Server was not found. The TCP/IP is enable on the Server I can't see the other machine under Explorer/Network. What can I do, which further information do you need for help? Edit: I change the vm network configuration, now I have look. Thanks Kail
Hi, In Network and Sharing Center go to "Change advanced sharing settings and enable netowrk discovery. In regards to connection to SQL server, I presume that firewall can block it. finally, make sure that both VMs are in the same network mode (Shared, Bridged).
no luck I can't connect to the Windows Server 2012. The all things from ahead are set. The firewall is off, for the test.
well, if this is not a network issue, then I guess you should start google, e.g. http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...to-server-a-network-related-or-instance-speci http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20851795/sql-server-management-studio-can-not-connect
