I am trying to connect to sql server 2000 from a windows
95 machine and windows 98. Both give me the same problem.
There is no server listing in the login dialog box and it
won't allow me to type it in. The error is unable to
connect to data source.
The workaround is to code it in the registry, but that is
not acceptable.
The connection works fine in windows 2000, NT and XP.
Any ideas?
Thanks.What dialog box are you referring to? Are you talking about registering the
server in Enterprise Manager? Connecting through Query Analyzer? Can you
use OSQL and pass the server name as -S?
What does "won't allow me to type it in" mean? Do you get an error or it
won't let you click inside the dialog box?
What exactly do you add to the registry to make it work (what key and what
value)?
