A little vista help please....

[Daman2009]

Ive decided to come back to trying to get Cabal SQL Server working on Vista x64.

All databases are setup, linked server setup, login setup, centOS configured and working with Chumpy's server re-pack.
I have installed the x64 version of XP_MD5.DLL into database.

But for some reason, im not making any connections between Client and SQL Server.
If I put a dummy username and password still get no error which suggests that there is no link between the two.

I have followed the guides through with security policies etc but still have the same result.

If you run the query below and get letters and numbers back then xp_md5 is working. I don't think it will be xp_md5 though.

select account.dbo.fn_md5('test')

I'm guessing you use 2005 express on vista x64 and a default install of express editions won't work as it installs as a "named instance" and remote connections are disabled in the surface area. This is almost always the problem when connection fails so check my sql2005 guide in my sig.
