I am sure I am just missing the obvious today.. Win: 2012 - connecting to an instance of the 2012 sql server Servername :: NAME-W12-SQL-1\REMEDY,1435 (mssql connection settings) Instance name :: remedy SA password it says::
- The instance name *REMEDY *is not valid for the host *NAME-w12-sql-1* / port *1435* - Detected the SQLServer instance *NAME-W12-SQL-1\ REMEDY* for the host *dtg-w12-sql-1* / port *1435* *So I put in the following::* hostname NAME-W12-SQL-1\REMEDY Instance name : remedy System installer says: - he installer is unable to resolve NAME-w12-sql-1\REMEDY into an IP address.Clients cannot communicate to the Server unless they can resolve into an IP address If I put in the IP address \ REMEDY is says same thing. I know it is something silly, it must be the fly on my nose (too close). if I put in NAME-W12-SQL-1 (it says it should be the above) do I need to create some sort of Alias? like in the /etc/hosts? or registry? for it to get accepted. -- Patrick Zandi _______________________________________________________________________________ UNSUBSCRIBE or access ARSlist Archives at www.arslist.org "Where the Answers Are, and have been for 20 years"
