[AccessD] Transferring a database to another SQL Server

Most often your client network protocols are not in synch.  If you are
able ping each machine then there should be no firewall restrictions
between each.  If you do not get a ping back then let's look at your
firewall configurations.  Next, I would open up the client network
utility on both servers and check to see what your protocols are on
each machine generally Named Pipes and TCP/IP should be selected but
if they are not, choose each now, and see if that fixes the problem.
Still not?  Next thing you can do is setup an Alias to the other
server by typing in the server name in the named box and the IP in the
address box and selecting what port you will be connecting on (if it's
not 1433).
