I am new to workflow stake and don't have good knowledge in networking. Can someone please tell me if I have an application server in DMZ which connects to SQL server instance which is not in DMZ, Is there any difference if i connect to SQL server or SQL Server instance. I am able to make connection to the SQL Server but once i try to try the instance it won't find the instance. I.e. Can connect to sqlservername but not to sqlservername\instanename the error i am getting is the SQL Server instance can't be found. the instance is setup to allow remote connection. Hope my question make sense. Regards
SSMS->Server->Properties->Connections
or you can read, for example, this article for more information how to do that. And... be sure that Sql Server Browser service is started and feels good, because it's responsible for managing connections to named instances.
