I am trying to connect to a SQL Server 6.5 database via the Microsoft Ole DB Source and Ole DB Provider for SQL Server. The server is located in an nt domain separate from the server I am using.

I changed the network library property to tcp without any success.

The error message I get is something like "The SQL Server does not exist or access is denied".

What can I try?

Regards Robert

Are you able to ping each other? Are you trying to migrate from SQL 6.5 to SQL 2005?

Thank you for your reply!

I am able to ping the NT server from the Windows 2003 server where SQL Server 2005 is running.

No I am not migrating. I am trying to read from a table do some operations and then insert them in my SQL Server 2005.

Hmm I dont know, I was kind of hoping that I would not have to mess with the SQL Server 6.5.

I dont have any user account for that domain but apperantly it should work if I map a drive on the server and then use named pipes.
Like this:

Is there a way to do this whithout having to map a drive? Sending credentials for that domain from my SQL Server or something?
