I am trying to get a SQL Server 2005 server up and running with Navision 4 SP3.
The Server is setup and I can acces the Navision database from the pc it the server is running on, BUT other clients on the LAN cannot find the server with Navision.

Could this be because of the Developer Edition I have installed?

    Is there a windows (or any other) firewall up&running on the machine that has SQL server on?

    If yes, you should allow communication on certain ports.

    If I’m not in mistake SQL Server Developer Edition and SQL Server Express by default don't allow remote connections. You have manually to activate remote connections.

    Thanks that worked, Now i am having trouble getting the User logins to work.
    The login is setup in SQL but the Windows authentication does not except the user login, neither does database authentication.
    I would like to use windows authentication but cant get it to work

    You need to enable the "Browser" service through the "Surface Area Configuration Tool" also make sure that all protocols are enabled, some times on the "sharted memory" protocol is enabled.
