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.
The client is attempting to connect using TCP/IP so you will
want to make sure this protocol is enabled for MSDE. You can
use the server network utility to check, enable the
protocols. The utility file name is svrnetcn.exe. You can
find it in the Tools\Binn directory of your installation
path.
You can also find some general troubleshooting for the error

Access Denied" Error Message

Try creating a Test ODBC DSN to the MSDE server. Then review the OS
Error returned.
This will help troubleshoot the problem.
Example:
10060 = Connection Timeout
11001 = Host not found.

MSDE doesn't listen to any netlibs by default. You can enable netlibs using the svrnetcn.exe utility.
