Hi!
I'm trying to access a MS-SQL Server 2012 in a VM. Until now I did most of the things inside and it worked fine. Via <Servername>/Instance everything does as it should.
Now I just changed the Servername to the IP-Address or just to 127.0.0.1 and I get the following error.
TITLE: Connect to Server ------------------------------ Cannot connect to 127.0.0.1\MESONIC. ------------------------------ ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.
