Very Computer

The syntax I am using in Enterprise Manager to register
the SQL 2000 name instance is:
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx\InstanceName.  

We can connect to a SQL Server default instance by just
using an IP address.

We have changed the default port to be a port recognized
by our firewall.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what we might be
missing?

Thank you in advance for your help.
