SQL Server mirroring connection doesnt work - sql-server-2008

I have 2 servers srv-erp1 and srv-erp3. I made them mirror on each other. All setup is done by lots of tutorials and examples.
But when I call
ALTER DATABASE MIRROR_TEST SET PARTNER = 'TCP://srv-erp3:5022'
It`s response is:
The server network address "TCP://srv-erp3:5022" can not be reached or
does not exist. Check the network address name and that the ports for
the local and remote endpoints are operational.
I go to cmd on srv-erp3 and use netstat -an... this port is listening.
I go to cmd on srv-erp1 and use telnet srv-erp3 5022...and its ok to connect.
All firewalls are turned off. The only difference in config of srvrs is that srv-erp1 is on Windows Server 2003 R2 x64, and srv-erp3 is on Windows 2008 R2 x64
What can be the reason of this problem?
Regards, Dmitry.

I have such problem, the solution was using certificates. My problem appeared because my servers were not in one domain.

MySQL Remote Connection (Replication)

I have the following topology.
One Ubuntu 16.04. Instance on the Amazon AWS where my global MySQL Server is running. I want to use this Server as a Slave (Multi-Source Replication) for many local Master (Windows Machines MySQL Server).
For Testing Reasons I`ve Managed to make this running on one local Machine (with three different MySQL Server Running).
But now I want to make this Replication work on the mentioned global Server with the local ones. But it fails on the attempt to connect from the EC2 ubuntu Instance to the local Windows MySQL Server.
When I try to connect from my EC2 Instance to the local Computer with MySQL running on Port 3307 it keep saying:
ERROR 2003 (HY000): Can't connect to MySQL server on (113)
The strange Part is, that I can PING the Local Computer but not telnet it.
Telnet just says:
telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: No route to host
I can access the Global (EC2 / Ubuntu MySQL Server) from the local Machine but not the other way around.
I`ve already made a new Rule for this Port on the Windows Firewall Settings.
But the Port 3307 on the IPv4 Address seems to be still Closed.
I have no clue what I am missing to get a Connection from the EC2 Instance to my local Computer via TCP.
Do I have to open the Port Specific on the Router?
I hope for your help.
Best Regards.
It seems like your local computer is not visible, as your incoming ports to your local pc are closed. It may be a problem with your router, or your internet service provider, which is not allowing you to open ports(the most common one).
The possible solutions are:
1.) If your ports are not open due to the router
Try forwarding required ports to your pc.
Try Switching off your NAT firewall that may be blocking ports.
Try switching off your windows or antivirus firewall if any.
2.) If your ports are blocked by your Internet service provider.
Try getting help from ISP
Switch to a static IP connection if on dynamic.
Use a VPN service that provides an unblocked port service to all IPs.(This one solved my problem when I was struck in this situation.)

Hot to connect to remote MySQL server when my ISP is blocking 3306?

I am developing simple application with Visual Studio that gets data from remote MySQL server through MySql.Data.dll extension. Everything works fine when I'm in my own network, but when I'm at customer site it won't work. I'm assuming their IT is blocking port 3306. Since this is a big corp with strict rules cooperation with network admin is not an option. I heard about tunneling with SSH, tried to do some research but this time this is something not supported by my remote MySQL server provider. I'm out of ideas. What are my options?
Many thanks,
Paw
You can try the command > telnet <yourDBHost> 3306 to verify if port is blocked.
In that case, if you can't request to your admin to open port, maybe you can change the port of MySQL to another open port in the firewall, using your CPanel or editing config files directly if you can access it.

SQL Server 2008 Remote Access

I've studied other topics, tried various solutions, but cannot gain access to my SQL Server remotely from my PC.
I have not problems with accessing the Server its running on, I'm able to Remote Desktop fine.
Here are the steps I have taken :-
Enabled Remote access to SQL Server
Created a SQL Authentication User Account (which Ii can log in with whilst on the server).
Enabled Shared Memory & TCP/IP Protocols for the SQL Server Instance.
Created a Firewall Rule for TCP Port 1433
Created a Firewall Rule for UDP Port 1434
Created a Firewall Rule for SQLBrowwer.exe
Created a Firewall Rule for SQLservr.exe
Ensured SQL Browser & SQL Server are running processes.
SQL Management Studio cant even detect the instance of the SQL Server in listed Database Engines.
I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be?
** UPDATE **
Ive tried turning off my Firewall, the SQL Server in now found in SSMS, but i still cant connect to it?
All your steps are right, I'd do the same. I'm sure everything is fine with your SQL Server.
I guess it's firewall, try to turn it off or run this from command prompt:
netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 1433 name = SQLPort mode = ENABLE scope = SUBNET profile = CURRENT
Also, check if you have antivirus software or something similar and turn it off (on both sides).

Cannot connect to remote mysql from Mac lion

I'm a mac novice and trying to get a developer setup to develop php sites locally. The sites he develops have a mysql backend and that is on a remote box. We got xampp installed and working, he can connect from the website to the local mysql box but he cannot connect to the remote box. He is using the exact same connection info I am using from my windows system. I do not have any issues. Also the mysql server is setup to accept all users (we are currently using root) regardless of hostname.
I searched his system and I could not find a mysql.sock file. I do not know what this does, but googled some articles that mentioned.
Please help if you can.
Try Telnetting to the server from your host and see if you get a response.
telnet host 3306
If that doesn't work, you probably have some local firewall on your mac that is blocking the connection. Also, one thing you don't mention is that you can connect from a windows computer and not a mac... are they on the same network? If they're on different networks or in different places, that could indicate a local network issue.
This is definitely not an issue with mysql, but with something on the Mac itself.
The mysql.sock file is relevant only to the machine the MySQL server is running on, for local clients to communicate with the server. For any remote machines, they'll be connecting via TCP on port 3306.
Make sure that port 3306 is open in the server machine's firewall, and that MySQL has been configured to allow TCP connections.

Cannot connect to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Instance on the Network

I installed an instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on my 32 bit Windows 7 machine. I can see it and connect to it with SQL Server Management Studio locally but not on the network.
SQL Server Configuration Manager Settings
SQL Server Browser is running (Log on As "NT AUTHORUITY\LocalService")
Named Pipes for this instance are Enabled
TCP/IP Enabled Dynamic ports are set to nothing the TCP Ports are set to 1433
In the Server Properties from SSMS
Connections --> I have the "Allow remote connections to this server" box checked
The Firewall is turned off for testing
When I try to see this instance with a command prompt (sqlcmd -L) from another computer I get a list of network servers. Sometimes it shows up and sometimes it doesn't. If it shows up I still can't seem to connect and the error message number is 26. If feels like there is some switch somewhere that needs to be turned on.
I am leaving this up there for any other users who have mental blocks occasionally... I had not turned off all the firewalls. In windows7 you have three different firewalls and you have to turn off the right one
