Webmaster Forum / ColdFusion / Server Administration / December 2008

Hi,

We have a coldfusion server and DB server. As the DB server is out of life
support. We are currently migrating the DB server only. Whatever the changes
(Firewall port, creating database and migrating) on the existing DB server have
been done in the new DB server. When I tried to establish the connection using
ODBC connection the database is failing to connection.

Note: We provide the same username and password which we are able to connect
to SQL server.

Environment:
Coldfusion version 5, windows 2000 OS.
Old DB - SQL server 2000 with windows 2000 OS.
New DB - SQL server 2005 with windows 2003 OS.

Problem:
When we are connecting the new DB server. It is failing and when we check the
network logs it is connecting to a different port. Those port are related to
NetBios packets (for DNS name resolution) to the New DB server.

When we check the traffic on existing DB server it goes through specific port.
Can anyone please help me?

Thanks,
Satheesh.:confused;
