When ever I try to just type the SQL Server into the ODBC administrator to test a connection it fails with error 67.SQLState 08001Connection Failed.I'm logging on with the same details as I'm using on other PC's, where I can see the SQL Server.Both the Server and client PC have been configured to connect using named pipes.I'd appreciate some pointers on what could be the problem.Thanks for the help.Steve" |

| Have you tried registering it as it's IP address ??We had a server that refused to register as it's name but was fine when registered as it's IP address. I'm not sure why this is exactly though so watch this space.... |

| As I mentioned in another thread, I like to use the Client Network Utility to alias a server's IP Address.One thing that can cause you troubles is firewalls. Are there any between this one PC and the SQL Server? Has a conduit with the right port number been created to let you pass through the firewall? If so, are you using the right pseudo IP Address?--------------------------------------------------------------1000 Posts, Here I come! I wonder what my new title will be... |

| Thanks for the replies.Just thought I'd let you know that I loaded MDAC 2.6 and it solved the problem. Previously I had MDAC 2.1. Don't know why but it worked. |
