Net type

The network type to use to connect to SQL Server.

You generally do not have to change the network type from the default setting. The Default network type setting enables Microsoft Dynamics NAV to connect to a server by using the default client network type that is assigned by SQL Server. If you have installed SQL Server Client Utilities, then you can change the network type with the Client Network Utility, which is part of the SQL Server Client Utilities.

Attach file

If you want to attach and open a detached database that consists of a single data file, excluding the transaction log file, then you must enter the complete path and file name of the database in the Attach File field. This file typically has the .mdf file name extension. You can give this single file database any name by entering it in the Database Name field on the General tab. If no transaction log file exists with the data file, it is automatically created when you attach the data file. The database file is attached when you open it.
