sql server clients : NT4 client connecting to SQL2000 named instance

I have 1 SQL2000 setup with multiple instances. Have problems connecting ODBC
on a NT4 to a named instance. It can connect to the default instance though.

Tried both ServerName\instance name, and IP address\instance name. Network
connection is fine, can ping to the SQL Server. Connecting by TCP/IP network
libraries.

What version of MDAC? You can check your MDAC version with
the component checker utility. You can download this tools
as well as recent MDAC versions from:

MDAC 2.5

That's the problem then. You need to be using at least MDAC
2.6 to connect to named instances.
