Jason writes "I have SQL server 2000 installed on a server, and I have an ASP .NET application on a web server that is tring to connect to a named instance on the database server.

However, I get the "Server Does Not Exist" error. I know that on my local machine, i've set up a TCP/IP alias using the Client Network Utility using the specified port and it works fine. However, the web server does not have any client utilites installed so I cannot create an alias as I did on my local machine.

Is there a workaround for this?


Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks"

ASP.NET ?

Client network utility ? whats the connection ?

see www.connectionstrings.com create a connection based on the .net and MSSQL connection

the client utility is to create a client connection to a remote server
