Hi Everyone,
I have big problem when I would like to connect to SQL server
When I type IP adress I receive this information.
Details: "Microsoft SQL: Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement. This could be because the pre-login handshake failed or the server was unable to respond back in time. The duration spent while attempting to connect to this server was - [Pre-Login] initialization=18110; handshake=14281; "
What's more I have full access for sql server. I can access that IP on local computer (via SQL management studio) or by remote desktop. The problem with that is only when I want to go to sql server by Power BI.
Do you have any idea how to iron out ?
Thanks in advance,
Krzysztof
You may try to specify Timeout parameter in The Advanced Editor.
