I have a Win 2k/SQL 2000 server here, setup by installing the named instance first. Then added a default instance later, also 2k.
Nothing I can pin down, but it is a little flaky. Sometime you can connect to either, sometimes the named instance is slow, or takes 2 tries.
Is this an incorrect way to install SQL ? Any one else seen problems with this installation sequence ?
I was keeping the default instance available in case we needed to slide SQL 7 in later, we are converting a number of SQL 7 DBs, and didn't know if they'd roll to SQL 2000 easily. I figured they would, but wanted to leave it open just in case. That's why we have installed the default as 2k, since the SQL7 apps have converted easily without changes.

Haven't tried this and not sure it should matter, but an interesting issue.
I did the client tools on my laptop, then personal later and it wouldn't let me do a default install. No issues, just annoying.
