This might not be a SQL Server question, might be something else. I
have a workstation on a LAN that can't connect to the SQL Server. When
I try to configure a User DSN to connect to it, the server name I want
appears TWICE in the list of possible servers. No matter which one I
select, it can't get the connection.
The workstation also can't connect through EM or QA.
We've checked the user's permissions, we've re-installed some server
packs, re-installed the Client Tools, we've even hunted through the
registry, everything looks OK, but we still can't connect. This is the
only machine on the LAN that can't connect. Everybody else connects
fine.
I'm stumped. Any ideas? Anybody ever seen the server name appear
twice like that?

And the error message is?
Have you tried added an alias in the Client Network Utility?
Have you tried connecting using the IP-address?
Have you checked in the Client Network Utility that the protcols that
server use are enabled?

We got it. It was the Client Network Utility. The workstation had a
bad alias set up in there, for some reason. We deleted that alias, and
now we can connect! Thanks for your help. Learn more about this stuff
every day....

I just realized that there are 2 modes for garbage collection modes: server
gs and workstation gs. Would someone know how I can go about changing the
mode for my web application written in C#? I want to make sure it's using
server gs mode. Thank you for any comment or advice.

Here's the scenario.
A user is sitting at a WinXP workstation and maps a drive to one particular
remote server. The user then transfers data files to that server and invokes
my C++ application executable that resides on that remote server from a
simple DOS command line at the workstation. For example, x:\myprogram.exe.
This scenario can and often does exist concurrently at different workstations
around the country but always with the one...

We have a very large C# winforms client application that is constructed

actually be worse there.
On average, it can take 3 to 5 minutes to simply open the solution
