828.0. "Can't access Cluster using SQL Client on PC" by ZPOVC::CSNAQS () Mon May 26 1997 08:51

    Hi,
    
    I have two AlphaServer 1000A connected as Cluster with NT 4.0 Server
    with Cluster v1.1 and SQL Server running.I have a Client PC running
    Windows95 with the SQL Client and Cluster Client loaded.
    
    If I were to activate my SQL Client ISQL_w on either one of the Server,
    and do the following configuration with:
    Server: database1
    DLL: dbnmpntw.dll
    Connection String: \\NT_Cluster1\pipe\wilmadisks\query
    and
    Server: database2
    DLL: dbnmpntw.dll
    Connection String: \\NT_Cluster1\pipe\bettydisk\query
    I have no problems on connecting to either database.
    
    But if I were to do this on my Client PC running Windows95 with the
    only differences in the DLL: dbnmp3.dll, it does not allow me to
    connect to the Server.
    
    Does anyone know why I can't connect to the cluster when using a PC ?
    
    Please advise. Thanks.

828.1Try TCP/IP instead of Named Pipes?DECWET::CAPPELLOFMy other brain is a polymerTue May 27 1997 21:055
    If your Windows 95 client system uses TCP/IP, try configuring TCP/IP
    connections instead of Named Pipes connections for your client systems. 
    See my description in note 783.3.  I forget the name of the TCP/IP
    connection DLL for Windows 95, but I'm sure it's in our NT Cluster
    documentation.
