Hi- I added another machine to my network .. I tried to connect to my database via admin. with connect and the server name did not show up on the list (file, connect, server)... So it is not recognizing the Server... Why I wonder?

type in the server name.
Nope- I wish it was that easy. The crazy thing is that I can connect to an other server on an other machine, but not the other machine...
Sounds like a Windows Firewall issue. There was an entry way back when SP2 came out for XP that had the firewall. There were a few things you had to "customize" Windows Firewall to allow this to work.
