I am trying to link SQL SE 2000 (Local server at head office) to MSDE 2000 (remote server). After creating the server group in local server, I try to register SQL server Computers (MSDE 2000) to place in it.

But I received this error message.


"SQL server registration failed because of the connect failure displayed below. Do you wish to Register anyway

SQL Server does not exist or access denied connectionOpen(Connect()).'"

I checked the setup for client and server utilities.

Client Utility is TCP/IP
Server Utility is Named pipe

Please, help me. I don't know what went wrong here.
