Connot connect to server via name but IP works, not a SQL Browser service issue :)

    And more questions....

    Have you checked the port the instance is listening on ?

    - even though it is the default instance, it could be on a port other than 1433.

    Have you tried connecting to it using the name and port ? e.g. MYSERVER,1433

    How does nslookup respond? nslookup MYSERVER

    UDP Port 1434 - Open and Listening (verified using PortQry.exe) <Performed port query again to be sure.

    Used servername,1434 and connection times out.

    nslookup servername returned correct IP and FQDN from DNS Server.

  • Thanks everyone that has been helping! I am still trying to narrow down the cause 🙂

  • Do you have any DNS Suffixes (in the DNS tab of Advanced TCP/IP settings) on the nic card?

    Do you have any DNS Suffixes (in the DNS tab of Advanced TCP/IP settings) on the nic card?

    On the local machine or the server? (i will be back in front of the server tomorrow and i will get back to you)

  • Thanks for all the help, this issue has been put on the back burner. Project deadlines... 😉
