| I have SQL Server 2000 evaluation version on DesktopA and the same SQL Server running on DesktopB. I would like to use the SQL Server Enterprise Manager wizard to copy the database from DesktopA to DesktopB. SQL Server is running on both PCs as a local system account. When I start the wizard, it says (local) for the source server and "use windows authentication, the next step asks for the destaination server and lists (local) and DESKTOPB, when I pick DESKTOPB and either Windows and SQL authentication I get the error message, "Cannot connect to the server DESKTOPB. Please check the server name and try again." I am new to this so any ideas of what I should try would be appreciated. I don't know if I need to "register" the servers or anything else I might be leaving out. |

| I ran the SQL Server Enterprise Manager Register wizard on DesktopA and sucessfully registered DESKTOPB, but I still got the same login error message. I went back to check the register wizard again and DESKTOPB was no longer in the list of available servers listed on the left side. |

| RC,on desktopB: Start -> Programs -> SQL Server Group -> Server Network Utility;add TCP/IP protocol (with default settings for it (port 1433, etc));also, it's worth reading about the Utility in Books Online.Also, on both desktops, run Client Network Utility and in its dropdown choose TCP/IP. |
