I am using visual studio for Mac and I have my sql server instance running on windows 10 using parallels. I enabled port 1433 in the inbound rules in the firewall and enabled the browser agent in my Sql config.

Db: 3.21:can't Delete Parallels For Mac Mac

As mentioned. I am running my app using this connection string 'DefaultConnection': 'Server=smb://10.211.55.4/WINDOWS10PRO;Database=aspnet-Testapp-53bc9b9d-9d6a-45d4-8429-2a;TrustedConnection=True;MultipleActiveResultSets=true' but I am getting SqlException SqlException: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 25 - Connection string is not valid) How can I test my connection to the database using Mac OS?
