I am able to logon to sql server using localhost, or ., but if I am using the hostname of the server, I am not able to. Get an 'connection actively refused' messahe !
I am using SQL 2K5 enterprise SP2.
Any suggestions ?

Hi Juwel
I know this from other versions of SQL Server. Have a look to the SQL Server Configuration Manager at:
"Start"->"Programs"->"Microsoft SQL Server 2005"->"Configuration Tools"->"SQL Server Configuration Manager".
On left tree go to "SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration"->"Protocols for MSSQLSERVER" and ensure that "TCP/IP" is enabled. If not enable it and restart the SQL Server service.

Hi Flo,
Thanks for the reply. I have checked config manager and network settings. TCP/IP is enabled and on dynamic ports. is there any place where I can check for the HOSTNAME apart from HOSTS file of server ?
Thanks in advnace,

Hi Juwel
Try this on your SQL Server (connected over local host 😉 )
PRINT @@SERVERNAME
