How to connect to sql server 2000 on a LAN?

Can someone help me with the connection string for connecting to sql server 2000 on a machine named 'pserver'? I don't know what I am doing wrong but I can connect without problem from my local machine but get error messages when I try connecting from a different machine.

Is your local machine the same machine where your SQL Server is?

Yes, the local machine is the machine with Sql Server installed on.

What kind of error message is showing?
Please make sure that windows firewall is turned off.

I turned off the firewall and still gets the error. Please give me a sample string to compare to mine.


Thank you.
