I want to move the database to a NAS server running WHS 2011, when I enter the server name I can't connect to the data base if I use the IP address it works.

Can someone share what changes I need to make.

Thanks

I have never been able to get it to work using the name.  I have always used the actual IP address.

Same here. Only the IP address seems to work.

Most routers apply a dns suffix with their DHCP Server. Try using a fully qualified host name. My Fritz Box router is using fritz.box, so the full name would be NAS.fritz.box. Using full names worked here without problems for syncing with my PC.
