Please My MAIN OBJECTIVE IS TO CONNECT TO SQL Server 2000 Instace ?

You should see all instances through the

EnumAvailableSqlServers

method including the instances from SQL Server 2000.

Computer_name\Instance_name is only needed if you connect to a named instance (either in 2k or 2k5). If you are connecting to a default instance you don′t need the named instance syntax.
