I was poking around the web today and found a nice post from Doug Hughes about an SQL server issue. The post was commented 88 times. Many people showed their gratitude to Doug for posting the solution to a vexing problem. One commenter takes the cake however:

To which Joe Reinhart replied to, rather Tongue in Cheek:
Jenkins,
Care to send the IP addres and SA password?

Then I laughed even harder when I read: (I placed the x’s in there. I have a conscience.)
Hi Joe
In "connect to SQL Server" Window.
SQL Server : IP Address(114.x9.130.13)
I select SQL Server authentication
Login name : User Name (jenkins)
Password : pwd (*****)
Then i click ok.
Its gives error.
"unale to connect to server 114.x9.130.13"
Please fix it
