How would I do a network trace on Windows XP Pro?

My original question was asking how to connect to the new SQL 2005
Express Beta.

I didn't know if the TDS protocol needed updating or what. I knew you
guys knew TDS. Basically, I didn't know enough to ask the right
question.

Currently:
- can connect via Query Analyzer that comes with SQL 2000 Developer
using NT Auth.
- unable to connect via Enterprise Manager that comes with SQL 2000
Developer ( I think this is mentioned in the release notes you can't do)
- unable to connect via Mono's SqlClient either way: SQL Auth nor NT
Auth
- someone mentioned (Peter Ducan ?) said they can connect via FreeTDS.
He didn't say what he did to connect.

I have only been trying to connect on my local machine. So, I wonder
what I am doing wrong then.

Does FreeTDS support connecting via named pipes?

Daniel

My point is, I guess, that they seem to be targeting this to the niche
that Jet (Access) currently fulfills. Single machine or small workgroup
database. Look to see Access frontend to this instead of Jet with the
next major rev (my supposition).

Glad to see tcpip/tds can be reenabled on this beast. But, my point is
that you'll start seeing MSDE/SSE files distributed in the same manner
that Jet files are today within the next couple of years. Same
underlying technology, maybe, but different market space. FreeTDS won't
do the job when someone sends you one of these in the ol' email.

Thinking about it, I'm not quite sure that I understood the original
post. Did you mean that other machines can access the server, but only
from CLI? or it is accessible on the same machine only through CLI? If
it's going across networks than it must be named pipes? Or perhaps it is
DCOM? Would be interesting to get a network trace in that case.

Cheers,

Brian
