[dba-SQLServer] Problems registering database

Not only that, you are running XP SP2 IIRC from one of your ealier
posts... please check that your software firewall is allowing sql
server to get through it default listens on port 1433, so please make
sure that at least this port is open.

2ndly make sure that the Sql Server is set up to listen in mixed mode
so you can at your whim, choose between nt authentication and sql
Server sercuity... to do this go to Neo2, and right click the server
in EM, and choose the type of authentication allowed.

when registering from other pc's you can elect to use the IP instead
of the name, and thus make for less headaches..
