Hi guys,

Just need to know if its possible to assign a Server Name as the IP ADDRESS. We are working on a project right now for On-Line system in a bank. Deposits, Widtrawals and other transactions must be on a REAL-TIME update of database.

Thank you.

you can access a SQL Server via the IP Address as well as Server Name.

it is better to use DSNs/Server Name than IP address for security reasons

unless you want the name to be an ipaddress-looking string
