New SQL Server Registration failure

Hi,

I have 3 SQL Servers running here. Here are their configurations:

SERVER 1:
OS: Windows 2000 SP 4
SQL: SQL Server 2000 SP 4

SERVER 2:
OS: Windows 2000 SP 4
SQL: SQL Server 2000 SP 4

SERVER 3:
OS: Windows XP Professionnal
SQL: SQL Server 2000 SP 3

Now, as you can see, SERVER 1 and SERVER 2 have identical configurations. Plus, both will accept Windows Authentication and SQL Authentication.

If I try to add a new Registration from SERVER 3 to SERVER 1, it works fine but from SERVER 3 to SERVER 2 it doesn't. I always get an error (SQL Server does not exist or access denied). But, using the exact same user name and password, a connection can be established from SERVER 1 to SERVER 2 and vice-versa. Only when trying to connect froms SERVER 3 to SERVER 2 fails.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

I don't know, I'm not the sysadmin responsible for updating software. It's just what is says in the about menu option.
