Local server connectivity issue

  • Hi,

    I have SQL Server 2008 running on my laptop.

    I am using an application written in PowerBuilder 8.

    When I run my front-end app, I believe it is using the network connection to connect to the server. Because, if my internet connection breaks, the SQL connectivity also breaks. How can I configure my SQL server to NOT use network connection at all?

    Amazing thing is, sometimes it doesn't do this. I even tried switching off my wireless card and my program still worked fine. I am confused...

    Could anyone please shed some light so as to what is happening?

    Any help would be highly appreciated..

  • Within the sql server configuration manager try setting the IP address to 127.0.0.1

    You will need to restart the sql services for it to take effect.

  • Thanks for the quick response, SQL_LOCK.

    The IP6 address for TCP/IP is already 127.0.0.1.

    All other IP settings are disabled, except IP6.
