SQL Data connection

Power BI Software & Tools

Hello all
I’m trying to connect to my client’s server. He gave me the data that i need, server name, database name, username and password. I have this result, which i think it means, “the problem is on the other side”:
Capture

Can i do something here, “on this side” to ensure that in fact the problem is on the other side?
Thanks a lot
Pedro

Hello @pedroccamara,

Thank You for posting your query onto the Forum.

Well by judging at the error and the statement it says - “Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections”. I guess you need to establish a connection via VPN option. Please check with the client whether their data is based on VPN or not.

Hoping you find this useful and helps you to solve the problem. :slightly_smiling_face:

Thanks and Warm Regards,
Harsh
