Also make sure the firewall is not blocking the ports SQL Server uses. The Defaults are TCP 1434 and UDP 1435.
>>I modified my applications login routine to call the SQL 2005 instance, and it works from my workstation if I format the SERVER value as ".\SQL2005". But this will only work on my local workstation. On another workstation, that does not have SQL 2005 loaded, I tried to put it in as 192.168.30.36\SQL2005 but it fails. That format even fails on my local workstation.
