Server doesn't exist

I'm trying to create a report with Crystal reports on a Windows Vista
machine. When i try to add the Database ,which is on a windows server 2003,
using a Oledb connection i'm getting the following error.
[dbnetlib][ConnectonOpen(Connect()).]Sql server does not exist or access
denied, followed by the error."login failed Catalog information cannot be
retrieved"
Also, when i run a vb App connecting to the database using MDAC OLEDB i
getting the same error.

I have to say that creating the report and running the app from other client
machines doesn't give me that error. On the server ; TCP/IP connectivity and
remote connections is enabled.

Please help.

Save yourself alot of trouble and go to the PUSH method for Crystal Reports.

PULL method (which is what most people do because its "easy") is subject and
prone to issue like this.
