<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
Ok. &nbsp;I just got a brand new machine for home use and installed NT 5.0 (beta 2) and SQL 6.5. &nbsp;Everything went smoothly, and SQL is (I believe) installed correctly. &nbsp;Through SQL service manager, I can start and stop the server, but when I try to connect through ISQL/w or Enterprise manager, I get a DB-LIB error saying that the specified server cannot be found or does not exist... &nbsp;I have installed SQL before (though it has been a while) and have never had this problem. &nbsp;There is no networking card installed, but that shouldn't be a problem since I have talked with other people who have done the same thing with NT 4.<br />
<br />
do I specify &quot;(local)&quot; or somesuch for the server name? &nbsp;(I'm @ work so can't try it until tonight.)<br />
<br />
Help???
