when trying to connect to a named instance of SQL Server 2000 sp4 using Management Studio, the following error message appears:
===================================
Cannot connect to SERVER\INSTANCE.
===================================
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
However, I am able to connect by putting in the server name as 'sqlserver, portno',
I can also connect to another named instance without problem, the only difference is the one having issue is a cluster server....weird...
