    May be a resolution problem:

    try to add the sql server host in the lmhost/host file or run DNS for name resolution

    Try installing the latest version of MDAC on the clients who need to connect to SQL.  I've had issues in the past when clients had older versions like 2.5.  Upgrading to the latest version has always worked for me.
