Client Network Utility

I have created a SQL2000 database on our server. I am trying to run the service using the Service Manager.
I have already created an alias using Client Network Utility - TCPIP.
But every time i select the service i get The network path is not found.
ANy ideas ?
You really do not need the alias... So delete it ( to start).
Run client network utility and make sure that TCP IP is seleted onthe
client..
Begin by going to the server and starting sql
On the client
1. Go to the command prompt and try to ping the server
name
Then run Query analyzer and simply try to connect using a trusted connection
to the servername..
The most common reason you get the error which is 'the server is
unavailable or the network path not found.'
is that the server is not running.
