[QUOTE="craigparris1, post: 506577, member: 75254"] Hi Dansta, There's some descriptions here on how to possibly resolve that particular SQL error: [url=http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlsetupandupgrade/thread/a11f5068-9c37-46e2-bc04-f1862969d938]The configuration of the AdminConnection\TCP protocol in the SQL instance SQLEXPRESS is not valid[/url] If your server now has a different IP to what was present when SQL was first installed, this could explain the issue. I believe the recommendation would generally be to assign a fixed IP address to the server machine, and if it is a wireless adapter that's your only network card, it might be worthwhile installing the MS "loopback" adapter as well (do a search in the MP forums for loopback). I have a single-seat HTPC with only a wireless card attached, and sometimes if I have to reset the wireless router, or if the signal drops out for some reason, by having the loopback adapter TV-server can still talk to SQL Server OK. (obviously, your remote client would lose connection, but the local client is still happy) Hope this helps. Cheers, Craig [/QUOTE]
