Do Named Pipes work across a WAN?

Hi,
Do Named Pipes work across a WAN?
Are they carried on TCP/IP? What ports?
Thanks,
SA Dev
Hi
Windows 2000 and 2003 encapsulate the data in networking layer TCP/IP
packets. Named pipes is not efficient on slow connections.
Your best option is to use TCP/IP sockets.
Once you have firewalls in place, TCP/IP sockets is your only option.

Can you use windows authentication with TCP/IP or does it support SQL auth
only?
Does Named Pipes support both windows and sql auth?
