I swear I've done this many times successfully before but for some reason have problems this go around.<br />
<br />
I'm trying to connect to a remote named instance of SQL Server 2008 and keep getting a user login error. &nbsp;This for for a SSRS portal I'm working with trying to setup a remote datasource on an internal SSRS portal.<br />
<br />
I believe I have all the necessary ports opened up in the firewall of the SQL Server I am attempting to connect to and have the SQL Server configured for mixed mode auth, TCP, etc. etc.<br />
<br />
To reference the SQL Server, I'm using:<br />
<br />
99.99.99.99\SQLSERVER08,14<wbr />33<br />
<br />
where 99.99.99.99 = the IP address of my server.<br />
<br />
The error I am getting is:<br />
<br />
The login failed for user 'myusername'.<br />
<br />
Yet, 'myusername' is setup in my SQL Server as a user and has permissions to access the DB.<br />
<br />
There has to be something I'm missing! &nbsp;Any other ideas on what's causing this hangup? &nbsp;TIA!
