Re: highly appreciated.



First of all David, thanks for your reply....

I am at client computer and how client computer diagnose MY_COMPUTER\SQL2
until and unless I have to mention that the ip which is running behind the
MY_Computer... this My_Computer doesn't exist on the network... that's why I
have to mention this My_Computer IP in the client network utility so that it
can easily diagnose it... I am mentioning you what I did for connecting named
instance... if I am wrong then please correct me...

Step 1: I did findout the port No of named instance through SQL Server
Network Utility that was 1434 right.

Step 2: I have mantioned that port and IP in client network utility like

Netowork Utility > Alias >

Alias: RemoteServer
Server: 209.45.23.55
Port : 1434
Protocol: TCP/IP

when I registered this named instance server through enterprise manager I
have defiled RemoteServer/Instancename and then trying to connect but
failed... sql server doesn't exist or access denied....

David, as you said I have to connect simply through MY_COMPUTER\SQL2 but how
my client machine know MY_Computer IP ?

I hope you understand what I wanna tell you... I would really appreciate if
you reply me ASAP.... thanks and have a great day,
