I've already configured the firewall properly. I'm sure of that...

Gil,

Is your SQL Server behind any sort of firewall? Be sure to let requests on Port 1433 through.

I wish it was that simple Peter. I'm not using a DSN to connect to the database, just the IP address. I even tried it just now using a DSN, but it gave me a "General network error". Anything else it could be?

Gil,

Your data source is probably set up to use named pipes. Try configuring it to use TCP/IP and enter the IP number of the server.
