Connection from PowerDesigner to MS SQL Server 2008 R2

Question

I'm trying to connect from Sybase PowerDesigner 15 to MS SQL SERVER 2008 R2. I basically entered the following into the Connection Profile Definition dialog:

• Connection Type: Native
• DBMS Type: Microsoft SQL Server
• Server Name: MSSQLSERVER (which is the instance name installed on my machine, I also tried 192.168.1.44\MSSQLSERVER which is my IP on the network and the instance name)
• Database name: Prevent-01222013
• Use integrated login: checked

Unfortunately, it keeps telling me "Connection Failed!". Where did I go wrong?

Answer 1

Ok apparently I was doing it all wrong. I ended up using the ODBC machine data source option and that did it.
