    I am sure I have had this working before, but how can I connect to SQL Server remotely, using the instance name (With instance name not hidden), but with the browser disabled?

    It works with Servername, port number. But not Server\instance.

    browser enabled is lets me connect with server\instance. I know reading on the internet it says browser must be enabled for this but I am sure ive done it with this disabled!

    SQL Browser is responsible for telling the client which port to use for an instance of SQL. If it is not running then you will not be able to connect to an instance UNLESS you explicitly specify the port number.
