OK, so that is SQL 2K full, or is it an MSDE ?
I ask as MSDE has some tweaks to prevent connections, at least if
a specific reg key is just so.
I realize you posted here as this results from application of patch,
but posting to SQL newsgroup might be quickest way to find someone
that recognizes your exact issue.
Does the behavior differ if the XP firewall is off ?
Can you make a new connection to using (Local) ?? that is,
assuming that this is not a named instance.
