   Well, at least then I know that it is a connectivity problem and   
   not a strict authorisation problem.   
      
   Could you try changing the server name to something absolutely   
   wrong and see if you get the same error message, or a different one?   
      
   Are you using Windows authentication or SQL authentication?   
      
   Sorry for all the question, but troubleshooting connectivity problems on   
   a distance with a minimum of information is tedious.
