SPS Webpart connecting external DB

mikko laanti

Hello, I have a situation where my Sharepoint Webpart has to connect to external database using pure OLE DB and fetch some information.

Has anyone succeeded to do this? I get errormessages from OLE DB Databsebase server e.g. "server name" can't be mapped into IP address..

Anyone had same kind of problems?

Cheers.

hi, r u using the BDC, while database you are trying to connect it, i had done this with the SQL Server 2005 with the Single sign on. and it was working for me. just check your LobSystemInstance, its not taking that Instance.
just check that server name.
