Hello,
I’m trying to configure Mirroring between two servers one is a default instance and the other is a named instance.
When configuring through GUI mode it is erroring out with Error: 1418.
My question here is can we use named instances for mirroring, because the below command
Alter Database MirroringDB
set partner = ‘TCP://<Mirror Server Name>:7024’ is erroring out with the below error.
can not be reached or does not exist.
Check the network address name and that the ports for the local and remote endpoints are operational.
Second question.
-------------------
Do the server’s need to run with the same account while configuring mirroring.

You don't need the same account. Whether on the same server or different, the instances talk to each other through the endpoint. So the security is on the endpoint, not the service account.
BTW, is this for testing? You shouldn't mirror to the same physical box. Defeats the purpose.
Did you walk through these steps? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms190941.aspx, security setup here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175883.aspx
Be aware that the local firewall can be an issue here.
