                                            | Doing first 2012 active/passive cluster install. On the screen which looks the same as 2008 where it needs to validate the cluster network I put in the IP I was give to link to the sql instance name. It fails and tells me it can not validate the ip address. I can't even ping the IP from a command prompt. Am I missing something, I don't think this will work and validate if I can't ping it. |  |

                                          | If it isn't responding to a ping request, then it is probably the wrong IP address. |
