Invalid Connection to SQL2000 after installing SP3

After having installed SP3 on SQL 2000 server standard edition running
on Windows 2000 server, users cannot access the database whether
through Enterprise Manager, Query Analyser, or my application.
It was running fine before. Users are running Windows XP. The database
is a named instance and is used for replication. Funny enough, I may
access the database from my development machine which is running
Windows 2000 server.
Help is most welcome
PatrickPatrick,
What are the symptoms? What does "users cannot access the database"
mean? Does it time-out, do they get an error? Please paste the error
message.

Thank you for your interest in our problem. The error message is just
"Invalid Connection". The server is running SQL server 2000 with sp3 n
Windows server 2000.
the client are running Windows XP pro.
Best Regards

Connect from Query Analyzer and paste the message here, you will get
something more than "Invalid Connection".

(Reverse address to reply.)|||I have just found the solution. There was another SQL server instance
running with the same port number. I changed it and everythings is
working fine.
Thank you for your support.
