New IBM Laptop running SQL server cannot connect to another sql server on network

I am trying to connect a new LBM Laptop to an SQL server on the
network
and I get "test connection failed because of an error in initializing
provider, [dbnetlib][connectionopren (connect()),] SQL server does not
exist or access denied. The laptom has sql server running on it
locally and I am trying to connect to an SQL server on the network.
Thanks

Hi

You should make sure that SQL Server is at Service Pack 3a on both machines
and check the MDAC installation on the laptop with the MDAC component
checker (see microsoft download centre)?

If you can connect to the network SQL Server from other machines, then check
the network settings on the laptop.

A user is having issues with replication. The message states it can't find a database. This database is on the distributor. When I go to Enterprise manager and add that server with a valid logon (I even tried logging on as sa), and I look at the databases. They are NOT the databases that exist on that server. They are the databases that are on the client (laptop)'s SQL Server. I've reinstalled sp3 (SQL 2000), and rebooted. Went to...
