Can not login to MSDE

I have a windows 2000 server with Veritas Backup Exec 9.1 and when you
install veritas it installs MSDE version 8.00.760. When i try to connect to
the msde using enterprise manager i get an error mesage stating that Reason:
SQL Server does not exist or access denied. I was told that the sa password
is blank. I tried logging in to the machine using Administrator account and
same error. Any suggestions on how to get around this.
I also ran svrnetcn.exe and made sure that tcp/ip is enabled.
Hope this Helps

|||hey Dan,
I'm having the same problems without using Veritas. When i try to connect it says the server does not exist or access is denied. When i installed SQL it did not set up my server name as local or localhost like a lot of these manuals i have says it will do
. It set it up as (myname)\NETSDK. Is your server set up as local or something else?
