Aliases not found on log in

When loggining into SSMS there does not appear to be a way to connect to the
ALIAS remote servers names like you could with SQL Server 2000. Does any one
know how to use the Alias names at the SQL Server 2005 connection dialog?D. Haber (DHaber@.discussions.microsoft.com) writes:

What aliases? Those you defined in the Client Network Utility? I guess you
need to use the SQL Configuration Manager to set up aliaes for the SQL 2005
tools. It's under SQL Native Client configuration, which is a little
misleading, but I did a very quick test, and it seemed to work.
