sql server clustering : Add a node problem

I have a problem with my SQL cluster. One Windows 2000 server had a
disk crash recently so I decided to reinstall it all under Windows
2003. So now I have the new Windows 2003 server and the good old
Windows 2000 server.

Let's call my servers SQL1 (Windows 2003) and SQL2 (Windows 2000).

I installed the new node on my 2003 server and applied SP3a patch. But
now I am unable to failover to SQL1 (Physical Disk, IP Address and
Network Name transfer, but SQL Server will not transfer).
The Quorum resources transfer without problem.

I closely followed the required network configuration at
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=258750
but it does not help. All servers rebooted will not help either. SP3
has been applied on both servers. A re-install of the SQL node on SQL1
has been attempted with no luck...


On SQL1, in my Application Log: I see this when I try to fail from
SQL2 to SQL1:

Event ID: 17052
Description: [sqsrvres] ODBC sqldriverconnect failed

then

Event ID: 17052
Description: [sqsrvres] checkODBCConnectError: sqlstate = 08001;
native error = 6; message = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][TCP/IP
Sockets] Specified SQL server not found.

then

Event ID: 17052
Description: [sqsrvres] ODBC sqldriverconnect failed

then

Event ID: 17052
Description: [sqsrvres] checkODBCConnectError: sqlstate = 01000;
native error = 2afc; message = [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server
Driver][TCP/IP Sockets] Specified SQL server not found.

then some more of the same errors when retrying before it aborts and
revert back to SQL2.

What could be wrong with the 2003 server?

Thanks!
