Re: XP as Server...

Tech-Archive recommends: Speed Up your PC by fixing your registry

dot, localhost, or the hostname of your server should all work for a local
connection. I assume you have something else going on. What kind of error
do you get and what is in the error log?

Thank you Roger.

I'm using SQL Servor Enterprise Edition (Eval 180 days).

The period did not work and I am running SQL 2005 on the same box as XP.

Any other ideas to get me going here?

Mark :)

Hello.

I installed SQL Server 2005 on my XP Professional personal PC last
night.
Everything loaded OK. But when I tried to access some of the servces,
I
was
prompted to connect to a server and the Server Name was blank. I guess
my
question is how do I set up my XP Professional to run as a server? I'm
loading the SQL Server 2005, in addtional to Visual Studio 2005, as a
test
to
learn the products. Is there another way around this - please advise
(keep
it simple please).

Thank you.
