Four years of AMANDA-II data have been searched for neutrinos from point sources. No statistically significant excess of events has been detected, neither integrated in the years 2000 to 2003, nor in the searches for occasional signals. An interesting coincidence of neutrinos with gamma-ray flares emerges when inspecting the time of the events detected from the direction of the Blazar 1ES1959+650. The exceptional character of the gamma-ray observation provides a strong motivation for consolidating similar search strategies with AMANDA and its successor IceCube, as well as for multidisciplinary investigations of this and other gamma-ray sources. We report the outcomes of the most recent survey of the northern sky to search for neutrino point sources with AMANDA-II. We also discuss possible viable collaborations between the gamma-ray and the high energy neutrino observatories.
