Hello All,I've two instances(Default, Named[dynamics\FINANCE]) running on SQL server 2014. However, when I try to connect to named instance say (dynamics\FINANCE) using SQL authentication from local SSMS, I get below error message:[b]A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)[/b]I assigned a static port number to the named instance [dynamics\FINANCE] 1450. I also setup the firewall rule to allow access to Port 1450.What am I missing here? Any help is greatly appreciated.Thanks
