I have just moved my System DB's from one disk to another on the same server using article - every thing seemed ok.

On trying to connect or create a new project on the SQL server I get the following error -

'Test Connoction failed because of an error in initializing provider. [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server doe not exist or access denied.'

I have checked the permissions and they appear to be ok, I can log on to server directly using either the Admin or my username and can connect / Create projects on the server.
It only appears to be remote computers that cannot connect.

Any Ideas

Sorted this one!

The TCP/IP Protocol was not set up in the network configuration, very strange as this was a clean install on Monday.
