Hi to all,
I've got this weird problem: I've got 2 PCs (a normal PC and a laptop), with both SMSS 2008 installed on it, and 2 remote servers, in the same network.
With my PC I can normally connect to both servers, while with the laptop I can connect to one server, but not to the other one (which is a cluster). I get this error:

TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------

Cannot connect to ************

------------------------------
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. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=-1&LinkId=20476

------------------------------
BUTTONS:

OK
------------------------------

Any idea?
Thank you

Daniele
