Can't connet to MSDE with Query Analyzer

I'm running MSDE on a WIN2K and I'm having a problem accessing the MSDE from
a laptop with WINXP Professional. I'm using a NETGEAR MR314 cable router w/
firewall to connect the two computers and I'm getting the following error:
Unable to connec to server SERVERNAME
Server: Msg 17, Level 16, State1
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or
access denied
I've tried by creating a new account with owner rights to all databases and
I still get the same error when connecting with Query Analyzer. When I get
the "Connect to SQL Server" dialog box I can see the server but when I enter
the user name an password it gives me the error message.
MSDE doesn't listen to any netlibs by default. You can enable netlibs using the svrnetcn.exe utility.
