We are setting up a database server with 2 instances of SQL Server 2005. One for the default and another for Reporting Service. I have them installed but when I try to a registration from another Server for the Reporting Service Instance I can not get in. I am using the sa userid and password, the same one that works when I am on the server but I get an error that says Remote Server connections may not be allowed. When I go to properties the Allow remote connections box is checked. Anyone know what else I need to do to get to the named instance?If you have another instance on the server it probably uses not the default port. If you have chosen another port than the default 1433 for the named instance, you should either start SQL Browser (which will handle request and will forward to the appropiate port on the server) or you directly name it within your connecting application by using the following syntax:
Servername\InstanceName,portnumber.
