Author Can no longer connect to SQL Server 2000 using ADO after XP SP2

I can no longer connect to SQL Server 2000 using ADO after installing XP SP2.
I receive authentication error. I have even turned off all firewalls.
I also installed SQL Server Service Pack 4.
I also added the SQL Server data source(ODBC). I am using Windows
Authentication. When I test the ODBC data source it connects successfully.
I just can not access it via ADO.
The receive the error message when I try to open the connection in my program.
Conn.Open
"SQL Server does not exist or access denied."
Can anyone tell me what else I need to do?
Ron

Can you tell us what your server name is and what connection string you
are passing to the ADO connection object?
