New Server Install

Hi I have two servers running server 2003 R2 the avast install along with ADNM appeared to go correctly mirrors download and all appeared correct until I attempted to access the console.

There were now servers in the drop down lists I ran ams maintenance and the database checked out correctly

these files were there

C:\Programmi\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$AVAST\Data\avast*.mdf
C:\Programmi\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL$AVAST\Data\avast*.ldf

yet when I attempt to logon to the console “no server?”

Any suggestions

/Sigh must be having a bad day after typing this entry I kept browsing and reading and found a valid suggestion, although typing in the server name hadn’t worked typing in the IP address appears to have been successful

So for now thanks for the help I found in this forum

Cheers to all
