my sql server not listed in pull down list of 3rd party tool

hi there,
I am installing a network managing tool in a test environment that relies on
sql database. when opening the pull down list I can see all sql and msde
server from my colleagues but mine.
When introducing it manually with all credentials and domain info and hit
"test logon", it returns: "There was an error testing the windows logon
credentials. windows reports the error as Logon failure: uknown user name or
bad password. Latter are all correct.
- Why can I not see the server in the pull down menu?
- What could be the connection issue?

1. It probably uses some flavor of SQLBrowseConnect and not
all servers are guaranteed to be listed due to network
issues, if services are running, protocols, etc. You can
find more information in the following article:

2. I'm not sure what tool you are using or what you mean
exactly by introducing it manually, but if windows gives you
an error of unknown user name or bad password, then you
likely have not used the correct user and password. You can
test by logging into the domain with the user name and
password. If it works and the tool doesn't, you should
contact the vendor of the network tool.
