Failure to connect to MS SQL 2005 database

lanboss

I searched the forum for this issue and found a related one, but it spun off into another topic. I am running Backup Exec v10.1 rev5629, trying to backup databases on an MS SQL Server 2005 build 9.0.2047 running on MS Windows Server 2003 v5.2.3790. It is our first SQL 2005 native mode database.
 
When browsing in B.E., I cannot select the database; error msg "An error was encounter while attempting to browse the contents of <servername>. A network connection to the server could not be established."
 
I tried right-clicking on the database in the B.E. selections browser to use the "Connect as..." feature. I tried to connect as sa, as the local box admin and as the domain admin. Each account failed to connect when I clicked the OK button.
 
I can back up local drives OK, but not the database. Can someone put me on the right path, here? Thanks. J
