How to configure Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) for use with SQL Server

On This Page

INTRODUCTION

Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) includes Windows Firewall. Windows Firewall is an enhanced version of Internet Connection Firewall (ICF). Windows Firewall is a host-based, stateful, filtering firewall that discards unsolicited incoming traffic through TCP/IP version 4 (IPv4) connections and through TCP/IP version 6 (IPv6) connections. By default, Windows Firewall is enabled on computers that are running Windows XP SP2.

Because Windows Firewall is enabled, Microsoft SQL Server cannot listen to the network, even if it was previously configured to do this. This article contains links to Microsoft Knowledge Base articles that you can use to help you configure Windows Firewall to permit access for SQL Server.

Community Feedback System

Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back. Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what didn't.

Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry edits), please consult a professional.

Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
