MSDE SQL Connection error

I am trying to connect to a remote MSDE SQL database. When I set up the odbc connection I get a connection denied error. The SQL server is on a windows 2003 server. Any ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks, LinsLoMSDE won't allow remote connections on Windows 2003 unless you apply MSDE sp3a.

-PatP|||This is currently on the server, but it is still not connecting...|||what are you using to connect? a programming language (c, c++, c#) and are they .net? If you are using .net then i would suggest trying to use the sql connection library instead of the odbc. are you on the same network as the db server? please provide more info on your situation. I can not give an accurate answer with out more information
