    Sorry, i cannot give the actual text of the error.
    we are configuring on a single box right now.
    the error was in the sharepoint central admin page. where you configure the
    database server.
    And you specify the server name.
    it was like an error stating something to the fact that we are unable to
    connect/server not found.

    forgot to add, the boxes are on the same domain, but different subnets.
    would this matter?
    port 1433 is open. is there another port it would use?

    thanks
