Question

I have installed sql server express edition 2014 on my machine. And I am connecting to it with CRM using my local machine's IP address.

The problem here is my IP address allocated to my machine is dynamic and changes every day when I log in, which makes it impossible for me to connect to CRM (as the IP address changes obviously).

What to do in that case? Any help will be appreciated.

Was it helpful?

Solution

Instead of connecting via IP address, connect to your machine's name. If you're connecting locally, you can use LOCALHOST as the name, or just a period ("."), which connects you to your local default instance.

OTHER TIPS

Brent's suggestions of using your machine name, or LOCALHOST or just "." are all great ones, I would also suggest using the loop back address of 127.0.0.1
