Connection Manager - No available servers

Hi

Windows XP Pro, SQL Server 2005 (Developer) & Visual Studio 2005 (Pro)

New SSIS project (Visual Studio)

New OLE DB/SQL Native client connection.

There's no servers available in the drop down box.

All the services that need to be running are running.

Guess I've missed the obvious here

Cheers

Dave

Hi,

|||Yes I did. Will re-try and then post the error.|||

Just tried entering the name manually and it worked...

Any ideas why I can't browse to the instance/server?

|||Do you use another port than the default one 1433 ? If so, you will have to make sure that SQL Server browser is started. What for ? See the link here for more information about the SQL Browser.
