How do I configure a connection to use tcp-ip sockets with SQL Server?

Select the Advanced Tab

In the Server box type in the name your application will use to referencethe server.

For DLL Name select TCP/IP Sockets.

For a server name that will be resolved to a numeric IP address just enterthe name into the Connection string. (This should work if you can PING thatserver by name.) For a numeric IP address just type the IP address into theConnection String.

If you want to use a different port from the default (1433 is the default)follow the IP name or address with a comma and the alternate port. For example:123.123.123.123,1434

Hit the Add/Modify Button.
