How to configuring SQL 2K & connect to it.

I am new to SQL Server 2000 and need step-by-step help
setting it up and connecting to it. I am in desperate
need of help. If anyone can I'll greatly appreciate it.Hi,
After the installtion of SQL server, You can use the user friendly utility
Enterprise manager to administer the
SQL Server and databases. The tasks are:-
1. Create a new database
2. Create new login
3. Assign the required role the login created.
Once you create the Login and database you can use the other utility named
"Query Analyzer" to connect to the
SQL Server. Using Query Analyzer you can execute all TSQL commands
For tracing you can use the utility "Profiler"
To enable and Disable the protocols you can use 'Server Netwotk utility".
For more information on Administration, TSQL commands download the latest
boks online from below link:-

continue to recieve a error message "[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server
Driver][TCP/IP Sockets]SQL Server does not exist or access denied." What
am I doing wrong?

This error can come in below situations:-
1. SQL Server is down
2. Your client network issues. Try a ping to server and check the network
connection
3. Providing wrong SQL server name.
If all the above is OK, then create a ALIAS server name using the CLient
network utility specifying protocol as TCIP , IP address , port number.
After that try to connect using that ALIAS name.
Thanks

the database and create the login. whats the proper procedure?
