Author Unable to Connect to Server

Hi guys

Hope someone can help me! I have tried to connect to the SQL Server
using both TCP/Ip and Named Pipes and each time it shows a error
Message SQL Server Error 17. I ran the Server Network utility and
enabled Named Pipes and TCP/IP, It shows that Multiprotocol is also
enabled. should i disable that? There are no firewall issues I can ping
the server from the Workstation. OS is Win2K & SP4. Any help would be
appreciated.

If you are not using Mutliprotocol then you should turn it off. Have you
tried connecting with it off?
