XP Media center won't connect

I have an application that works at hundreds of sites.

At this customer's site, they have 1 XP Media Center and 2 XP Home
machines. When I try to access the SQL Server via our VB.NET application
by SQL Server Name, the XP Home machines work, the media center machine
fails with an error 14: Invalid connection. WHen we connect to the SQL
machine by the IP address, the media center machine works the XP Home
machines receive an error 17: SQL Server does not exist or access is
denied.

Any idea why the media center machine is acting this way?

Hi

Have you checked the client protocols installed and being used on each of
these systems? Also check network settings, virus checker, firewalls etc. Se
