Hi Rafi, You need to install (and configure) the SQL Server Client tools. The important part here is the 'Client Network Utility' where you create aliases for host names, protocols and other options. The default setting for both the SQL server and the client is (in most cases) to use named pipes for the connection, but if the server and the client uses different protocols you will not be able to connect without creating an alias. - Frank > I am trying to create a connection w' MS-SQL Server to use with php.
