Can anyone explain me why connections to my sql server is
beeing done through names pipes and NOT TCP/IP?
It's your connection string. If you specify the server as a Name (e.g.
Server1) then you will connect through Named Pipes. If you spcify the server
as an IP address or a DNS name (e.g. 123.12.34.123 or www.Name.com) then you
will connect via TCP/IP. If using a DNS name, make sure you have can resolve
the IP address.
By default SQL installs with Named Pipes & TCP/IP. If you want other
protocols you may add them. Also, you may remove protocols such as Named
Pipes, but I wouldn't.
