Can't connect to SQL Server 2000 with Visual Studio 2005

I've been using Delphi for years (Win 32) and connecting to my SQL Server
databases with no problem.

I am now trying to learn both VB and C#. (Visual studio 2005)

From the Data menu, I select Add New Data Source
I then choose Database
I select Microsoft SQL Server as the Data Source

The Add Connection Dialog appears
It populates the Server name dropdown with both of my SQL servers.

However, when I try to select a database name, the dropdown is never
populated.

If I manually enter a known database name and try to connect, I get a
TimeOut Expired (or server not responding) error.
This happens whether I use windows authentication or SQL server
authentication.

This drill works fine with Delphi (Win 32) and connects without a hitch.

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Dave
