Have you used the surface area configuration tool? &nbsp;SQL 2005 is locked down by default and you'll need to enable the protocol of your choice. &nbsp;It's in the sql2005 program group -&gt;configuration tools. &nbsp;Look for 'Database Engine', remote connections.

Nope, I figured it out...Veritas has a patch to support 2005 with BE 10.d. &nbsp;I had installed that, but didn't push it back out to the SQL server...DUH...<br />

Please close question.

I have a SQL 2005 Server (running on a brand new Windows 2003 Server). &nbsp;I am the domain admin. &nbsp;I can login locally to the machine and I can backup all the databases using Enterprise Manager. &nbsp;My problem is that I need to back up the SQL databases using Veritas BackupExec. &nbsp;Through BackupExec, I can see the server and backup the file structure, and yes, I do have the Veritas SQL Agent installed. &nbsp;The problem, is that when I click on the SQL Agent on the server from BackupExec, it says &quot;Network Error, could not connect&quot;...But there's no network errors, I can see everything else on the server just fine...Any ideas? &nbsp;Thanks.
