Sounds obvious, but did you check Named Pipes settings? Or is that a typical SQL Server "red herring" error and nothing to do with NP at all? :ermm:qh
I think it is a red herring. As near as I can tell, the "test" and "prod" 2005 boxes are setup exactly the same regarding tcp/ip, named pipes, etc. I haven't changed anything on the 2012 box.
