>I would check what protocols are enabled on the client PC and make sure that TCP/IP is the first in the list.

Local Area connection properties for my machine:
Client for Microsoft Networks
File and printer sharing for Micorsoft Networks
QoS Packet Scheduler
Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

Should I try to move TCP/IP higher in this list?

I cannot access the server from this machine (where the MSDE 2000 server is running) using the connection in the DBC unless I use Trusted Connection. In fact I cannot access it from enterprise Manager without using trusted connection.

Thank you for your help.

>>>Looks like you set up MSDE 2000 with Windows Authentication. You can use EM to change it to the Mixed mode on the Server property page.
