Hello,

I have installed SQL Server 2008 Enterprise R2 (64bit) in cluster mode on Windows 2008 Server cluster. when ever I try to access SQL server from via IP address from any of the client, ODBC or from the same server get an error mesasge " Server doesnot exist or access denied" but I am able to connect from same server from same clinet, ODBC with the Instance name.
I am using Virtual IP address of the SQL Server and reverse lookup is working properly, I have enabled TCP\IP in SQL Server configurations and the SQL Server Agent resource in Oline in Cluster Manager.Everything is working normal except am unble to connect via IP Address

I have tested by installing SQL Server 2008 Enterprise R2 (64bit) standalone on Windows 2008 Server and am able to connect to database by both Instance name and IP address.

I am trying to install a Clinet which will only connect to database using IP address.

Please help in resolving this issue.

Are you specifying the appropriate port?

Yes I have specified the 1433 port and have enabled TCP/IP and port 1433 in SQL Server.

Is it a named instance or default?

Then 1433 is not likely to be the correct port.
