You are a genius:

you wrote:

Looking at the sample C# source code that was sent earlier:

"DANPC\\NETSDK" would get parsed into two parts:
the ServerName (hostname) - "DANPC"
the InstanceName - "NETSDK"

The UDP socket on port 1434 is connected to "DANPC" and sent the data
0x02 and the InstanceName "NETSDK".  The Microsoft SQL Server SQL Monitor
listens here.

The SQL Monitor responds with the result string that I showed below.

You send and receive ASCII.

Based on the data I got for ServerName "DANPC and InstanceName "NETSDK",
I have two options of connecting to that instance:

- connect via TCP port 1335
- connect via named pipes at \\DANPC\pipe\MSSQL$NETSDK\sql\query

Basically, I have discovered how to connect to the named instance "NETSDK"
at "DANPC".
However, for a Unix client, only the TCP port really matters.

response:

I'm playing around with a remote connection for the NETSDK  and couldn't 
figure it out at all.  Thanks for your posting.

cheers,
