Problem connecting to MS SQL server Msg 17, Level 16, State 1

Hi,

We had some trouble with oir server, windows 2003 standard server, it locked up, we rebooted it and everything went up normal, including the MS SQL 2000 sp4 database.

We have a webpage that connects to the database and works fine, but when we try to connect trough query analizer remotely to the server we get this error:

Msg 17, Level 16, State 1
The sql server does not exist or it has denied access

We where able to access the server before this reeboot.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I restarted the service several times with no luck.

I can ping the server just fine, good times too, the user has all permissions the MSSQL server is running on port 1433.

I have tried looking for the protocols you mention but cant find them.

I've run into a network configuration button on the general tab, it has TCP/IP and name activated

On the windows services panel i deactivated the ICS firewall service, so no windows firewall is running, i have no other firewall installed.

I installed Toad and it cannot connect either.
Also on Event Viewer I have a SuperSocket: (SpnRegister) : Error 1355 warning.

I have no Active Directory on this server, so I dont know if it is related
This is recent, if I authenticate the users though windows, they can connect.

I did this using windows explorer with the url \\serverip and giving nt user credentials

Unfortunately not all computers accepted this

Alas, sorry for the fuss, turns out my ISP blocked ports 1433 and 1434, I have talked to them and they ageed to unblock it for my server.
