Im trying to register an SQLServer on a machine with WindowsXP to an SQL Server on a machine with Windows 2000(the opposite works)I use SQL auth. with the "sa" account.The registration fails saying that the connection cannot be established or the server does not exist.Both servers have the "sa" as default login account and the same passwd.Can I do this or do I have to replace the XP with 2000?Thanks  |

| So you can't connect to the XP box ?Is the XP firewall running ?I also saw a case today where an XP box had sp2 applied, but the SQL Server instance didn't have any SPs applied. XP wouldn't let SQL Server bind to TCP because it wasn't patched... too cool Damian |
