Hello Everyone,
Hope this is the correct forum to post in.
My problem is this. I have recently installed SQL Server Express 2005 to a Windows 2000 SP4 Small Business Server for a client of mine, and have successfully started the SQL Server Service, but when I try to start the SQL Browser Service, it errors stating that the service "did not start in a timely fashion".
I have trawled the net and found some articles which suggest that either the remote connections setting isn't enabled, or the incorrect port is being specified.
The client software I am trying to connect to the Server does not pass a port number so needs to have the SQL browser running. I have enabled remote connections via TCP/IP, and have enabled remote connections using the Surface Area Configuration pgm, but still no go.
I think it may be that the port (1433 or 1434) is in use by another service (they have Veritas Backup Exec loaded which installs an instance of SQL Server), but I am not sure. If anyone can help, I'd be very grateful.
Regards
