I can not connect to the database from another computer

I can not connect to the database from another computer. The program finds the right Database Information Server and the right Database, but when I click OK button I get the error “Error while connecting SQL Server on host ‘localhost’”.

While creating the database, you searched for server automatically and might have selected server 'localhost'. When you select 'localhost' the database can be accessed only from the computer on which this database is created. To provide access from other computers you should have selected or entered the name of the server computer or its IP. Please do the following:

  1. Close the application on "server" computer.
  2. Go to Start -> All Programs -> VIP Quality Software-> VIP Task Manager -> Database Manager.
  3. Select 'Databases' tab
  4. Highlight the database you created
  5. Click on Edit button
  6. In the field 'host' change 'localhost' to the name or IP of this computer (where you store the database)
  7. Click OK and click 'Apply' button.
