Connection failed:

Hi Guys,

I encountered an error while opening my third SQL Connection in Enterprise Manager

--------
Microsoft SQL Server Login
--------
Connection failed:
SQLState: '01000'
SQL Server Error: 232
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]ConnectionWrite (WrapperWrite()).
Connection failed:
SQLState: '08S01'
SQL Server Error: 11
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][Shared Memory]General network error. Check your network documentation.

--------
OK
--------

I am using the following
SQL Server 2000 Enterprise Edition (SP4)
Windows 2000 Professional (SP4)

first two connections are with Query Analyzer, the third attempt is when opening a table inside Enterprise Manager

anyone experienced this?Sounds like you have to enable the shared memory protocol for the instance in cliconfg.exe.|||hi MCrowley

yeah, but the problem is, I can't remember what I did (gosh, too much for making experiments :) )

Is there a way on how to reverse this effect?

Thanks|||Is the Shared Memory protocol enabled in Cliconfg.exe?|||Is the Shared Memory protocol enabled in Cliconfg.exe? ;)|||The first thing I would do if I were in your position would be to check the setting of Shared Memory Protocol in cliconfg.exe and make sure it is enabled.

Just my .02 :)|||gosh,

sorry for the very late reply

yes, its enabled, what does this option do by the way?

thanks|||Shared memory is a protocol that can be used by applications running on the same box as SQL Server. Now that it is enabled, do you still get the same error?
