Perhaps the connection is made using Named Pipes? I'd use cliconfg.exe on
the client to verify that TCP/IP (sockets) is selected higher than Named
Pipes. Sockets shouldn't require anything else but the TCP port. Unless
you are trying a Windows logins, of course. Also, since you specify the
port in your connection string, you shouldn't need the SQL Server browser
service on the server (unless it is needed for other purposes, of course).


Tibor,

Thanks for the reply. Could you clarify what you mean when you said "Unless
you are trying a Windows logins, of course." Are you saying that Windows
Authentication/Mixed Mode uses Named Pipes to communicate with the domain
controller? I was not aware of that. I am using mixed mode authentication.

Thanks!

Keith
