Hi guys,Hope someone can help me out with this one; I'm having some trouble with a linked server.The source server is SQL Server 2014, configured with an instance name and non-standard port, the SQL Browser service is DISABLED as part of our security configuration, connections from applications are done as follows: Servername\Instance,PortNumberWorks great.Destination server is SQL Server 2005, default instance and port.If I log onto the console of the source server with RDP, I can set up the linked server as normal and it works fine. No issues.If I try and connect to the source server from any other machine (ie, my desktop with SSMS) I get a login timeout expired when I try and access the linked server.As part of my troubleshooting I disabled named pipes at the source server, and tried to access the linked server again. I am presented with the same error locally as I receive when trying to access it remotely.I assume this is something to do with the protocols, but I've been spinning my wheels on this for a few hours now.Any ideas?Cheers.
