PLASE HELP - remote connectivity to named instance of 2005

Hi all,
I just installed version 2005, and it is co-existing with
an instance of 2000. I am trying to test the remote connection string from
an ASP .Net page which works fine already in 2000. However it does not work
in 2005.
In 2005, I went to configuration Manager/Protocols/TCP IP, and entered 7544
as the default port, and for port value in IP1, IP2, and IP3. Then, in my
connection string I just included the port number, and changed the
databasename to point to 'AdventureWorks' instead of the DB that I used for
2K. The connection could not be openned. I also configured the user id, and
password the same way as I have in 2K, and re-started the engine.
This is a sample of my connection string:
this.sqlConnection1.ConnectionString =
"Server=xxx.xx.xx.xx\\<myNamedServerInstance>,7544 ;Database=AdventureWorks;User
ID=myUID;Password=myPWD;Trusted_Connection=True";
I tested the local connection to this server/Database, and it works fine,
however, there is a problem with the remote connection.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Carlos
Never mind.. I got it Thanks.
