suggest that you first try these commands in a query

SET TRANSACTION ISOLATION LEVEL READ UNCOMMITTED

select A=count(*) from master..sysprocesses

select B=count(distinct hostname) from master..sysprocesses

select C=count(*),hostname from master..sysprocesses group by hostname order by hostname

or these (same results but may be preferred in some camps)

select D=count(*) from master.sys.dm_exec_connections

select E=count(distinct client_net_address) from master.sys.dm_exec_connections

select F=count(*),client_net_address from master.sys.dm_exec_connections group by client_net_address order by client_net_address

You may use dos command "net file" in command prompt.

It will give you the list that how much connections are there to your server. Among them you may get count for query pipe connections.

- keep in mind "hostname" is data the client needs to provide.

- with e.g. access, when creating a linked table, it keeps the hostname data that has been provided by the dsn at link time. (so that is hardcoded ! even if you execute it from other clients!)
