Title:
Can't connect to second instance of MSDE
Hi,
I installed SQL Server 2000 in a box (machine name 'SQL') on the network and I can connect to it no problem from my laptop. I created a registration 'SQL' to it in Enterprise Manager in my laptop. Then I installed MSDE in that box 'SQL\MSDEDB' but I can't connect to it from enterprise manager in my laptop. I try to register with 'SQL\MSDEDB' but no success.
I happen to have Enterprise manager in the box where I installed MSDE (b/c of the SQL 2000 installation) also so I registered there with 'SQL\MSDEDB' and it registered successfully.
Any ideas why I can't connect to the MSDE database but I can to the SQL 2000 Database on the same box?
Thanks.
