I have a Pentium IV running as a single server using Windows 98 and SQL Server 2000. My computer application that I have developed was working very well, but because of a virus attack this really affected our server. So I had no chance and I reformatted completely the hard disk. Now the SQL Server is running but the workstations ( all of them running Windows 98 also ) can not connect to the server, its like they can not "see" the route to the server. The application is running pretty well at the server but the clients are unable to connect, protocols used for the local network are NETBEUI and TCP/IP. Can you help me to fix this problem ?
Thank you in advance.

Make sure you are in the correct workgroup. All computers need to be in one to access files. Check your IP address? If you don't have a DHCP server, then you should hardwire the IPs on the machines. Did you share the drive? Check the security tab and make sure The World has access? This will probably help.
If you're asking for technical help, please be sure to include all your system info, including operating system, model number, and any other specifics related to the problem. Also please exercise your best judgment when posting in the forums--revealing personal information such as your e-mail address, telephone number, and address is not recommended.
