I can't connect to either of my SQL servers using named pipes. One is running 6.5, the other 7.0. They are both set up to listen to both TCP/IP and Named Pipes. The only way that I am able to connect is through TCP/IP.

Can't connect to SQL 6.5/7 using named pipes 1

If you are connecting to SQL Server from either Win95 or Win98, or SQL server is running on Win95 or Win98, you will not br able to connect via named pipes.<br><br>This is because Win95 and Win98 do not support named pipes. If using either of these operating systems, you must connect via TC/PIP.<br><br>Hope this helps,<br><br>Chris Dukes

It's my recollection that you can't connect the two different versions. I remember that I couldn't connect them as remote servers, but didn't do a lot experimenting after that since we upgraded anyway.<br>You might take a look at Book Online ---<br>Steve A.
