I am perplexed with an issue that i need help on. I have searched and can not find a resolution and can not find out what is going on. Here is the situation: I have a windows 2003 Server running IIS 6, php 5.2.1 I have another windows 2003 server running mssql 2000 with all the latest service packs. i am using a php script via a web page to access data on the server and display it. when i run the page i get the standard: Warning: mssql_connect() [ <http://solomon/Flash/function.mssql-connect> function.mssql-connect]: Unable to connect to server: 192.168.1.9 I can connect to the sql server via the php script if i run it from my client in my editing software. What can i do at thins point to troubleshoot and get it to work. It was working prior to an installation of sp2 for win2k3 uninstalling sp2 is not an option.
