Alias not working on sql server 2008 r2?

After you are sure, that it's not firewall problem, TCP/IP problem, and you can connect to server regularly without using alias and only have a problem to connect with alias, I have this problem on Vista and Windows 7.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
