.sdf is nothing to do with the SQL on your host machine. 😖 Uninstalling samba will not reset as the connection string is saved in the settings file… What is your connection string? Can you PING the server/host machine from the second terminal? ---

Restart your computer after you started the service. ---

Your using windows authentication then? Is the user name and password for the second machine identical as the host machine? ---

Pretty sure you will have to make the username the same or add Green Olive 2 to the autherised users in SQL. @Jesse can you confirm? ---

Or set it to run mixed mode and create a specific user for that terminal. ---

Have seen few people struggle with windows auth on 8.1. Think it’s because of windows trying to get you to use Microsoft account rather than traditional local user. You would need to be sure the server gives access to the user of the client pc. Easiest option is to enable mixed mode and set a single user and password. There was a post the other day explaing how to do that. Other points. Test if you can ipf server from client, if not a network issue most likely. Try host name and IP address if fails, if ip works and host name doesn’t it’s a DNS issue, but you can bypass with host file or I believe use IP in connection string. While testing if trouble connecting disable firewall on server machine - if works it’s firewall causgin problem. ---

You can test SQL Server connectivity outside SambaPOS with this simple trick. If you can connect via UDL SambaPOS setup will be quite easier. > [@Sambapos4 string problem](http://forum.sambapos.com/t/sambapos4-string-problem/958/69): > > OK so you can do it to test if your client computer can actually access to your SQL Server or not. On your client computer Create a new empty text file on desktop by right click and New \> Text Document Change the extension of that text file from .txt to .udl It’s icon should change. Double click on it and you should see a dialog like this. Fill details and click Test Connection button to test if your SQL Server is accessible. ---
