The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

SQL Server Express 2005, TELNET, and Port 1433

Asked by jdana in SSH / Telnet Software, SQL Server 2005

Tags: Microsoft, SQL Server Express 2005

I was configuring a client yesterday for a SQL Server 2005 Express DB. Before building the ODBC connect string, I ran ping <IP Address>; the server replied. I then ran TELNET <IP Adress> 1433 (1433 being the SQL over TCP port number). I received the following response: "Connecting To <IP Address>...Could not open connection to the host, on port 1433:" Here's the weird part, I tried the ODBC connect string, and it worked. I double-checked, the host name specified in the ODBC connect string does match the IP address. Up until yesterday, I'd assumed that port 1433 had to be open on the SQL server for a client / server connection to be successful. Am I wrong. Or, is my understanding of TELNET as a "port pinger" flawed.
