accessing remote server

Hi
I have SQL server installed on windows 2003 server as name (local) on
server.
Windows 2003 have public IP and I can ping from my machine and I can connect
to that machine via terminal service as well.
I just want to register that SQL Server to my local machine SQL server
group.
I tried but its failed.
Any suggestion or advise please.
Kind Regards
fayyaz

Have you tried registering by IP address? If that works, you may have a name
resolution issue (DNS).
