creating system dsn to SQL server 2000 Sp 4 fails

Hi,

I hope someone can help me out here? I have a fresh install of SQL Server 2000 (standard edition - sp4), on a server running Windows 2003 SE (v 5.2.3790). I am trying to create a system dsn on my client pc (running Windows 2000) to a newly created database in SQL server called BLISS.

I am getting the following error message:

Connection failed:

SQL State :'01000'

SQL Server Error: 11001

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]Connection Open (Connect()).

Connection Failed:

SQL State :'08001'

SQL Server Error: 6

[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]Specified SQL server not found.

From support.microsft.com I have tried changing the TCPPort value to 0, but this has not helped. Does anyone have any further ideas please?

Which protocols are enabled? Have you tried running cliconfg.exe?|||

Hi Anton,

I have looked at cliconfg.exe and have enabled TCP/IP and named pipes for genera connections. Both were already enabled for connections to this SQL Server installation.

Another thought is that the connection works top a server running SQL Server 2k sp 3a, but not to this server running SQL Server 2k sp4. Perhaps I should just reinstall and put sp3a on instead?
