Acess Denied SQL Server doesnot Exist

Hi I recently installed a copy of SQL Server 2000 and was unable to connect
as my SQL server gives me the message "Acess Denied SQL Server doesnot
Exist". I did use all the trouble shooting help but couldnot rectify it. The
probelm seems to be with my logon. I am starting it with a single user mode.
It listens to TCP/IP, shared memory and named pipes. Even I have allowed the
1433 port on the firewall. But the error message it gives is Error: 15457,
Severity: 0, State: 1. Could someone please help?
Where are you seeing the error and what is the message?
Error 15457 in SQL Server wouldn't have anything to do with
it and would actually indicate the someone is connecting.
What tool are you using to connect?
How are you starting in single user mode and is there any
reason why you need to do this?
What login are you using?
Can you ping the server?
Can you log onto the server and connect with one of the
tools - Query Analyzer, Enterprise Manager.

|||Hi! I am getting the error logon message with the comments "Acess Denied SQL
Server doesnot Exist". I am trying to connect through the service manager. I
have installed the evaluation version of SQL server on an XP professional
edition with both clients and server on the same machine. But it is not
connecting to the server. I have already pinged the server and it is
returning me the port numbers and ip addresses. I cannot connect to any of
the services. Does SQL server not runs on an XP professional edition?

Go to Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Services and make sure the
Sql Server service is running. This is one of the many possibilities that
might have happened.
