Connecting to SQL Server by IP address

Hello, when I'm using management studio I can access db by ip address:

 

But when I'm trying to do the same in Power BI:

I'm getting error:

 Details: "Microsoft SQL: A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - Określona nazwa sieciowa już jest niedostępna.)"

 

Is it possible to connect to other SQL Server by IP address?

Curently it works only on my local db, but I need to connect to another db and I can't do this.

    Hello, the problem was that I tried to connect to SQL Server 2000.

    It's working in newer versions.

     

    Thank You for Help.
