Cannot connect to Instance_3 but can connect to instance_2

  • Any idea why I cannot connect to instance_3 of a server where I can connect to instance_2 ?  

    win2K with sql2k sp3a

    This server resides on an other domain ( fulltrusted  ). This server has been aliased because of interdomainproblems with virtual instances (FQN).

    I can connect to instance_3 when using servername,portnr

    The problem is manifests when using sql-auth as well as when using Win-auth.

    Aparently a coworker can connect using the instancename, but not always

  • Is 445 UdP blocked sometimes? Are the servers setup on specific ports?

  • thanks for your time.

    Instance_2 is using port 2446

    Instance_3 is using port 2072

    they reside at the same server.

    Regarding the udp 445 : I have always been able to connect to instance_2, I can connect to instance_3 when I specify the portno in the connection, but I cannot connect using the instance name.

    So I guess I need not to concern with the udb properties, correct ?

    Now I'm using sms-netmon to find out what's goin on
