Getting an error while trying to link to a server

greenspun.com : LUSENET : SQL Server Database Administration : One Thread

Hi I have a linked server with the IP address set up. But while I am trying to connect to the same, I am getting error " General Network Error. Please refer to documentation".

Can you help me figure out the error. I have defined th elinked server and the login is also mapped.

Thanks Jay

Jay,

Check that both machines are using the same network library and communicating over the same protocol stack.

Hope this helps,

Eric
