If you know a computer’s IP address as well as its name, specify the IP address in the sql.ini file to ensure that the computer can be found on the network.
For example, the following entry, which uses Named Pipes, specifies a remote server’s computer name and requires name resolution:
NLMSNMP,\\SMOKE\pipe\sybase\'uery
The following entry uses a remote server’s IP address and does not require name resolution:
NLMSNMP,\\130.214.60.230\pipe\sybase\'uery
