I'm trying to make my remote development environment look very much like my client's environment. I want to set it up so when my programs seek a server called "MTF", they actually get pointed to a network server in my development environment called "LION". LION (SS2012) is up and running, and I can connect to it from my laptop using SSMS2008R2 with the server name "LION".
I can't seem to connect using the server name "MTF". I've set up an alias on the server called MTF, and I've set up the local client with the "MTF" alias following instructions found here:

Am I forgetting something?

Never mind. I'm an idiot. I did not realize (since the subject instructions referred to a db on localhost) that BOTH the changes needed to be made, not on the server, but on the client side. I made them on the client side, and it worked flawlessly.
