Since upgrading to .Net Framework 1.1 I can no longer connect to my
local sql server using a sql connection string that contains the
actual server name (Error: SQL Server does not exist or Access
Denied). If I use (local) or localhost as the server name then the
connection is made. Does anyone know what caused this to stop working
with the installation of framework 1.1 and how I could resolve it?

Thanks in advance,

Terry

Using the Numeric IP Address does not work either. Only (local) and
localhost allows the connection to be made.
