  Hi friends,

  Can anybody please tell me why I am not able to register a new SQL Server database which is on a server on the network.

  I can easily ping to the server but when I try connecting to it using the

  New Sql Server Registration option and choosing the sql server authentication option (thru user SA) i get a message saying Specified sql server not found.

  ConnectionOpen(CreateFile())

  The machine is on the network (cause i can ping to it).

  Also I can access it thru PC anywhere.

  Why can't i connect to it using the SQL Enterprise Mgr ?

  Any help will be deeply appreciated...!!

  Thanks in advance..!!

  There are a few possibilties.

  Connecting over TCP/IP uses ports 1433 adn 1434 and 445 (I believe) for EM. Be sure these are not blocked.

  Be sure you have the same protocols setup on your machine (client network utility) and the server (server network utility).
