Moderatores Please Help

We have an old server 6.5
Try to login to sql 6.5 Enterprise manager
and try to connect get the following Error: SQL Server Error
[DB Libraray] Unable to connect: SQL server is unavailable or does not e
xist;
Severity level 9 MsgNo 10004 OS Error 53
ConnectionOpen(CreateFile())
The Users are able to use the Db thru the VB application...
How do I resolve this. How do I get to Open Enterprise manager and manage my
tasks and backups
Please helpHi
Are you trying to do this from the Server? If not, try it from there.
Check how the VB application is connecting. Is it using the name or an IP.
Try "TELNET servername 1433)" and see if it gives you a blank screen without
timing out.
Regards

It did give a balnk screen no time out. I tried the Enterprise manager from
both the server and my machine, I could not connect.
I need to finish my tasks and projects.
Thank You in adavance
