Ok, So on this problem I have narrowed it down. On my server I have Sql 2000 and Sql 2005 running side by side. i only get the connection error when trying to connect to sql 2005. I can connect to sql 2000 just fine.
The only difference is the instance name. To connect to 2000 I would just use my ip address. But to connect to sql 2005 I have to use myipaddress\\Server2005. In windows this works, but in mac and linux it doesnt. So the problem comes down to just the Server2005 instance name in mac/linux. Can anybody help me out with this?? It is driving me crazy. Thanks!
