SQL Server 7 and Win98

[Joey]

Hello,

I recently received my free evaluation to SQL Server 7. I installed it on my windows 98 computer and I am able to
start the services to SQL server. However, when I go into enterprise manager I am unable to get connected to be able to
begin creation on a database. I am also unable to create a proper DSN connection to the SQL server database. I am doing
all of this on my local computer and I am unable to get it working I just need to be able to connect to SQL on my local computer.

Please help. I am not a beginner to creating databases I have done numerous Access databases and know how to
create DSN's but I have never done one for SQL Server 7. If any one knows how to do this please let me know or if their is
a good tutorial on how to do that.

Thank you, in advanced.

This is just on my local computer that I am trying to connect to SQL Server so I can work locally on a database.
I do not know what you mean by a box.

Did you register the new server you created ?. In Enterprise manager right click on the Sql server
and select register new server. Hope this helps
