Home Forums SQL Server 2005 Administering Database server doesn't connect with the Server Name but connects with the IP address RE: Database server doesn't connect with the Server Name but connects with the IP address

  • One reason could be that Name reolution is not happening by the DNS server. Check with your Server administrator. Are you able to resolve the IP address to the FQDN.

    Check if the following command resolve to your server name: PING -a xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
