title: named pipes connection with IP address
body: <p>I have funny problem that I can connect to a remote named pipe using the machine name, but it would not work with the IP address. After reading the doc on pipe names at <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365783(v=vs.85).aspx" rel="nofollow">http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa365783(v=vs.85).aspx</a> - there seems to be no indication of IP address. </p>
  
  <p>Although, I know IP address work for pipe name (worked when I used Windows 2008R2, but didn't work when the pipe was created on Windows 2003).</p>
  
  <p>So are IP address supported? Are they supported on certain OS? 
  Firewall is off, and everything I can think of is setup OK considering the pipe works with the machine name....</p>
  
  <p>BTW. I am using C++ unmanaged to work with the pipes.</p>
