I have Developer Edition. Some scalability problems, but my colleague has the same on his laptop and I could use it - no problem.

I have a desktop PC running the service. When I try to log in from another PC, I can see my server name on the network list. I get an error, and can't login (Win Auth). When my colleagues browse, they can't even see the server.

I gave them both the same domain as me, and their login names. I set up public, connect, select stuff.....

Why can I can only use it locally, see it remotely, and they can't even see it?

There must be a simple answer. I've managed SQL Servers, when already set up. My home server is fine...

Thanks
Mike

What is the error that you get, which version of Windows is on the desktop and is there a firewall?
