windows 7 dbc connection sqlanywhere 11 - odbc

I'm trying to connect from my ms windows 7 via the odbc administrator to a remote
sybase sqlanywhere 11 database server.
But I get not connection, I'm not sure which configure option I have to specify.
server-name = ip address of remote database server?
startline ?
portnummer ?
Thank you, best regards, Alex

By default the SQL Anywhere server process dbsrv#.exe listens for incoming connections on port 2638.
Make sure your firewall allows outbound connections to that port.
Assuming you have a database running on your server as follows:
-x tcpip
-n my_server_name
"[DIR]\database_main_file.db" -n my_database_name
The server will broadcast on the tcp/ip layer on the default port (2638) under the name "my_server_name" and the database will be accessible under the name "my_database_name" via ODBC
Creating an ODBC entry for your new database to connect from a client (adjust for Windows 7)
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ODBC\ODBC.INI\myodbcentry]
"Driver"="C:\\PROGRA~1\\SQLANY~1\\Bin32\\dbodbc11.dll"
"DatabaseName"="my_database_name"
"ServerName"="my_server_name"
"LINKS"="TCPIP(IP=SERVER_IP_ADDRESS;PORT=2638)"
There are other parameters available for LINKS (HOST, etc). Take a look at http://dcx.sybase.com/index.html#1101en/dbadmin_en11/da-using-tcpip.html
I've seen some rare issues with UDP broadcast packets. See the docs at
http://dcx.sybase.com/1101en/dbadmin_en11/broadcastlistener-connection-conparm.html and check with your network administrator.
You can also use the dbping.exe utility to troubleshoot networking issues.
BTW, you may want to cross-post your question at http://sqla.stackexchange.com. It's full of SQL Anywhere buffs

How to connect to on-premise OpenVPN server from OCI (Oracle Cloud Infrastructure) Compute instance?

My company has an on-premise network which is opened by OpenVPN server.
In the ordinary scenarios, I used to connect to that server very easily.
However, when I tried to that server from the OCI compute instance which I connected by SSH from my laptop, there exist some problems. As soon as I try to connect VPN server, my SSH connection is closed.
IMHO, this may occurred because VPN connection changes network information and so my SSH connection might be lost.
I tried to look around to find out how to connect to VPN from OCI, but almost everything was using IPSec protocol which Oracle provided, others were about builting OpenVPN Server on the OCI instance.
I'm very novice for the network structure. So, please give me some hint to resolve this problem.
Thanks,
I get the following:
You have Ubuntu 18.04 VM on a Public Subnet in OCI
You have OpenVPN Server running on On-Prem.
You would like to access your On-Prem from Ubuntu VM on OCI.
If I understood it correctly, the best way is to set up IPSec VPN. It isn't that hard if you hit right steps. At the high level, you will be doing the following steps. I have used IKEv1 in my attempts in the past.
OCI:
Create a DRG
Attach/Associate it to your VCN
Create a CPE (Customer Premise Equipment) and mark the IP Address of OpenVPN server to it.
Create an IPSec Connection on the DRG. It will create two Tunnels with its own Security Information.
Set up Routing on associated subnet (i.e., one that hosts Ubuntu VM) so traffic associated to On-Prem CIDR are routed to DRG.
On-Prem:
Create necessary configuration to create the Tunnels upto OCI (Using the configuration information from previous steps such as VPN Server IP Addresses and Shared Secrets)
Set up Routing so that the Traffic destined for OCI CIDR ranges are sent to associated Tunnel Interface
This ensures that you can create multiple VMs on the OCI Subnet all of which can connect to your On-Prem infrastructure. OCI Documentation has sufficient information in setting up this VPN Connection.
Alternatively if your only requirement is to establish connectivity between Ubuntu VM on OCI to OpenVPN server On-Prem, you might use any VPN Client software and set it up. This doesn't need any of the configuration steps mentioned above.
Worker nodes in private subnets have private IP addresses only (they do not have public IP addresses). They can only be accessed by other resources inside the VCN. Oracle recommends using bastion hosts to control external access (such as SSH) to worker nodes in private subnets. You can learn more on using SSH to connect through a bastion host here - https://docs.cloud.oracle.com/en-us/iaas/Content/Resources/Assets/whitepapers/bastion-hosts.pdf

Using interconnect search-replace wordpress migration tool on Google CloudSQL

I recently migrated a site to a new server and am now trying to replace the old domain by the new one using this tool suggested in the wordpress codex.
The SQL instance and the VM are both in the same region and are connected using a cloud sql proxy, however when I try and connect to the database via the searc-replace tool, I get connection refused:
EDIT:
The command used to start the sql proxy is the following:
localhost:/cloudsql/project-name:region:sql-instance-name
It is the same I use in the config file to connect the site to the db.
"Connection Refused" error occurs when an application attempts a TCP connection but there is either no service listening on the target address and port or a firewall rejecting the connection.
First, lets make sure you are connecting on the right port. Run sudo netstat -lntp and look for cloud_sql_proxy. For example you might see
tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:3306 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 71313/cloud_sql_pro
indicating cloud sql is listening on port 3306. If you saw this, you should change the port in your tool to 3306.
If netstat does not show any cloud_sql_proxy line, then it isn't listening on TCP. While TCP isn't always needed for MySQL, it looks like the tool your are using does need it. Make sure you start cloud_sql_proxy with -instances=<INSTANCE_CONNECTION_NAME>=tcp:3306
Second, lets make sure you are connecting on the right address. This should be localhost without :/cloudsql/project-name:region:sql-instance-name after.
If it still doesn't work after those two, use sudo iptables -L to look for firewall rules blocking the traffic. I believe it's unlikely that you have a firewall stopping local traffic, however.
An alternative to using the Cloud SQL Proxy is to connect directly to your instance. To do this:
Find the external IP address of the VM you are running the PHP tool on.
Grant access for that IP address to your SQL instance, with the instructions here
Because MySQL can have different username/password depending on where you connect from, ensure there is a username/password combo for host %. instructions here.
Use the tool, with the username/password from (3), port=3306 and host=the IP address of your SQL instance
When you are done, remove access from the IP address to your Cloud SQL instance.

How to setup SQL Server Express on local network with wireless router

Guidance on how to connect to SQL Server 2012 needed.
I am on Windows 10 Home Edition
I have set up SQL Server Express to allow remote connections on my database machine to serve up data to three client machines.
Firewall has been set for ports - check
Allowed mixed mode logins - check
Setup IPs through SQL Configuration Manager - check
The server is something like 192.168.1.40,1433 and I can login successfully through SQL Server Express on my client machines. I had a long LAN cable running along the floor which is not optimal. So, I went to the store and bought a router so that I could connect wirelessly but have limited experience in networking.
After, installation of the router I can no longer connect to SQL Server. This makes sense since there is another piece of hardware in the chain.
After doing an IP config on the command line I see that the IPV4 address has changed. I assume I am not picking up the private IP address of the router rather than the modem that I was initially connected to.
Should I be port forwarding?
What are my options?
I explored what I thought may be reasonable leads to get this working.
First, I tried to create a virtual server (I also assume this is how to port forward on my particular router). I didn't really know what to put in five fields that were given other than server name and Protocol TCP or if I was on the right track at all.
The other three fields consist of:
External Port, Internal IP, and Internal Port
If this is a reasonable solution can you let me know what to put in these fields and any changes to the SQL Server configuration or firewall might be?
Should I VPN ?
After exploring this option on google I also notice people saying, "set up a VPN is the correct way to go." However, I don't really know how to do this. The only VPNs I know of are external VPN providers. It seems that I would be setting up a VPN server if I am not corrected(maybe on the server computer) and connecting via my client machines.
Any clarification or direction would be greatly appreciated. I am sure I have missed the mark on many things here but still would like to make ground.

Short Answer
Check Firewall
Check Service is Running
Check TCP/IP is Enabled
Check SQL Server Properties "Allow Remote Connections"
Then Run these if Those Do not Resolve
Right-click on TCP/IP and select Properties.
Verify that, under IP2, the IP Address is set to the computer's IP address on the local subnet.
Scroll down to IPAll.
Make sure that TCP Dynamic Ports is blank.
Make sure that TCP Port is set to 1433.
If you have a named instance then you must have the SQL Server Browser Service enabled
The browser service runs on port UDP 1434 and this must be allowed through your firewall
Hail Mary Pass if this is Still not Resolved
Go to the client machine, and run cliconfg.exe If named pipes is listed first, demote it, and promote TCP/IP.
check if the firewall is blocking the named pipes port, which usually is 445

telnet to a port fails: fuzzy on basic network theory

When some network connection isn't working right, one thing in my bag of tricks is to try opening a telnet connection to it. I don't expect to be able to do anything useful with this connection, but knowing if I can or can't connect is helpful in diagnosing the problem.
So today we had a problem where our app server couldn't open the JDBC connection to our database. However, it works fine when the app server is on the same physical box as the database. Aha, I thought, there must be a firewall blocking that port. So I tried to telnet to that port, and couldn't connect. As a control though, I also telnetted to a database on a box we could connect to and that failed as well. So, the situation is, somehow whatever is listening on that port accepts a JDBC connection from JBoss, but rejects a connect from telnet. How does it distinguish these two connections? Different protocol? Password embedded in the connection request?
Sounds like the database is only accepting connections on the local interface. Is your app server configured to connect to the database via its IP or via either localhost or 127.0.0.1?
