But SQL Server does exist?!

I'm setting up a development environment on XP Pro. I'm working with classic
ASP. IIS is working great, but when trying to connect to my SQL Server
Database, I get:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005)
[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access
denied.

I've checked and re-checked both the name of the database and server, plus
everything looks configured correctly in Enterprise Manager (SQL server and
Windows is checked).

In ODBC, after I configure my System DSN, I test it and it connects
correctly. But this dang error persists. I'm at my wits end with it all,
can you help?

Any comments would be very very appreciated.

Thank you.
