SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified

‎05-25-2023 03:14 AM

I constantly getting this problem notice when I try to remotely connect to my PowerBI server using my MS SQL login information. The server name is OK, my SQL Server permits remote connections, and my TCP/IP only permits connections through port 1433 for a specified IP address.

@nelson_hernande , Check are you controlling ip, usually while creation cloud data source allow only current ip

check if port 1433 is open

check url is correct and mssql is up and running
