Hi, I am using remote desktop to connect to my computer at work that has VS 2005 installed. On that work computer I am running an app that connects to a db on a remote server. THe problem is that db connection fails with error "server may not be set up to allow remote connections".
This only happens when I use remote desktop. Whe I use local version everything is fine. What could be causing that remote server to reject connection from my work PC? Is it a fact that I am using remote desktop? If so how can that be fixed?

thanks
 
That's an option that has to be configured for your SQL Server. Try searching on google for how to do this and if you can't find the answer, ask in the SQL Server forum.
