hi ,

i have win2000 professional and sql server 2000 installed in 2 systems. when i try to access the other system using query analyzer,
i get a error message login failed for user 'null'. i even changed windows authentication mode to mixed mode, restared the sql server in both systems. but no use. it gives the same error message.

note : i am able to access the files of other system through network.

Is the other server on a different domain than what your machine is on? Is their a trust relationship setup?

CHECK FOR CLIENT NETWORK UTILITY AND ADD ANOTHER MACHINE WITH TCP/IP ADDRESS OR MACHINE NAME AFTER THAT GO TO QUERY ANALYZER AND CHOOSE THE SERVER WHIHC U NEED TO ACCESS. HOPE IT HELPS

If you are using workgroups, then you'll need to use SQL authentication. Windows Authentication will not work.
