>> You will need SQL Workstation 6.5 - a standalone version.

As I understand it SQL Server will check for a network connection and if it can't find one it'll install a 'Developer's' version of SQL. This version has a limited number of connections.

Everything looks fine on my machine. The SQL Service is running and knows it's called WoodWorm. I just can't seem to get the client end to 'see' the server.

Thanks for the input.
