sql server connect : User Login Failed

Hi, I've just installed Sql 2000 (and sp3a) on my Win 2003 server. But I
have trouble connecting to it from my client machine. I keep getting this
error when registering: "User login failed: Not associated with a trusted
Sql Server connection". The client machine is running on XP Home. The user
I've setup uses Authentication with SQL Server because XP Home does not
allow for Window Domain logon.

Also, when I bring up the properties of the user (on the Server), the number
of "*" appearing in the password field does not match the number of
character of the password I setup. It seems that no matter what length of
password I'm setting up, the properties always shows it as "**********" (10
"*"). Is that normal???

Any help is much appreciated.

Does SQL Server allow mixed mode? Right-click on the server name in
Enterprise Manager, select Properties, Security tab and check the
Authentication part.

Just tried to do that. But after I changed it to Mixed Mode, when I bring
up the security tab again, it's back to Windows only. Somehow, it's not
allow me to change that. Thanks!

You have to restart SQL Server in order to make the change work.
