Network Connection

I installed MSDE on a 2003 server machine in an AD environment. During the
setup I used the disablenetworkprotocols=0 switch to enable network
connections. I also enable mixed mode authentication. However, I still
cannot connect to the server from a XP sp2 machine on the network. (firewall
is disabled) The error returned is sqlserver does not exist or access denied.
I tried connecting via windows autehntication and specifying a SQL account.
Does anyone know why I cannot connect or maybe a site that will help diagnose
the problem?

|||I discoverd it was problem with DNS. <Webserver> was pointing to the wrong
IP so when we tried to connect using <webserver> it would fail. I
discovered this after pinging <webserver> and it returned 120.0.0.21...our
WSUS server. I just updated the DNS to point <webserver> to 120.0.0.23 and
it works flawlessly.
