I have installed an SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition (SP4) on a
computer that has Windows Server 2003 on it.The server is connected to
the workgroup "WORK" and has no Active Directory. Now I cannot connect
to that database server from other computers in the network. On the
server itself, I can registrate the instance from the own SQL Server
2000 and also an instance from an other SQL Server 2000 installation on
a Windows 2000 Server in the network.

The network consists of a Windows 2000 Server (with a SQL Server 2000
installation), some workstations (W2000 Pro, Win XP Pro) and the new
installed Windows Server 2003.

When I try to connect to that new database Server with Query Analyzer
from an other computer I get allways the message box with the text like
"...SQL Server doesnt exist or access denied. ConnectionOpen
(Connect())..."

Many thanks for help.
