| Hello,I have installed seven MSDE on seven different machines.Some of these machines are Win98 and some of them are Win2000 professional.I am trying to connect these different MSDEs via ODBC and I could connect some of tha machines and unfortunately there is no standard rules for connecting.For example I am trying to connect to Computer2 by the settings username=sapassword=BLANKand it works.But when I try to connect to this machine from another computer it does not work.Any idea???Please help |

| I run into the same problem mainly with Win98. Some of the systems can be fixed with typing the IP address instead of the server name. |

| You must connect via TCP/IP from W9x boxes, Named Pipes isn't supported. There is a MS KB article somewhere that illustrates how to reconfigure MSDE for TCP/IP, or you should be able to force TCP/IP through your connection string from a W9x box.======Doug G====== |
