You have to enable TCP/IP support for SQL Server, even though you have
TCP/IP on the NT machine. It is NOT as default. The named pipes adds
an extra security level (must auth to the machine, before SQL Server),
whereas TCP/IP allows you to hit the SQL Server directly w/out an
account on the NT machine running SQL Server. For that reason,
intgrated login only works with named pipes.
