if you are using IP to connect use following as a connection string and try, Data Source=190.190.200.100,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=myDataBase; User ID=myUsername;Password=myPassword;

Vikrant More · Answer

i think your connection string should be start with Data Source not with Network Library.

Vikrant More · Answer

it means you are running SQL on Remote and an application is on your machine. if it is so try to ping the server or try to connect SQL by putting Server Name , User Name and Password on your machine if it is not then need to check some other way.
