Re: Login by IP address in Management Studio

The server with SQL Express is a dedicated server at 1and1.com. I do not

SQL login with a password in the past.

Why did this work with Windows Authentication?

Because your Windows login was known and accepted at the remote server,
presumably because the machine is in the same domain.

Whether you use IP address or server name has little to do with it.
