Solution 1

which error you get..??

As I knew & I did, For remote server in a LAN first you have to setup sqlserver to remote acesseable , and also add access permision in firewall.

One more thing I want to add here you use "Data Source=192.168.50.51\ACCTSERVER"
But here only IP address is required.

A error message si like
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: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

and I Already tried for Data source=192.168.50.51 but same error...

Once try by replacing IP with Server Name.

If still problem exist,
then make sure TCP/IP is enabled and Allow Remote Connection are allowed.

To Enable TCP/IP go trough following steps:
1. Open Sql Server Configuration Manager
2. In left panel click SQL Sever Network Configuration
3. Then further Click on Protocols for MSSQLSERVER Node.
4. On the right panel you will find TCP/IP, Right Click it and just Enable.

To Allow Remote Connection on SQL SERVER go trough following steps:
1. Open MS SQL SERVER connect with Windows or SQL Authentication.
2. Right click on Server and go to properties.
3. In Left Pane click on Connection Node.
4. On Right Pane, you will find CheckBox saying Allow Remote Connection to this Server, Check this box & Click Ok.
5. Again right click on Server and Restart SQL Server.
