You can connect using TCP protocol and to be sure what's going on use IP address of the server, but not the name of server. Try to ping the server from the client machine and check if you firewall allows access to SQL Server port (default is 1433).<br />

Hi Ibro<br />
<br />
<br />
1433 is closed but there is no reason why we couldn't use the TCP-IP netlib. This is more an academic <br />
question. I'm not quite sure of the differences between TCP-IP (Network protocol) TCP-IP (Net-Lib) and <br />
Named Pipes. I am just looking for clarification on exactly why I can't get to the server using Named <br />
Pipes. I suspect it is the TCP-IP filters but I'm not sure. I guess the real queestion is....do the <br />
TCP-IP filters in place block Named Pipes?<br />
<br />
Thanks!

Hi All<br />
<br />
We have a web server (using IIS 5.0 and SQL Server 2000) that uses only TCP-IP as its network protocol and we are filtering out all but 4 ports. We are using Named Pipes as our NetLib. When we try to connect to the server from another machine using Named Pipes, we run into a &quot;SQL Server Not Found&quot; type of error. Is this because of the filtering or is there something else going on behind the scenes? <br />
<br />
Thanks in advance.<br />
