I'm having a problem with a SQL 7 installation where our application can only connect (DSN-less) using the server name but not the IP address or locahost (these return the access denied error). Performance using the server name is terribly bad compared to another database that can be connected to via IP address. Any ideas what might be happening?

Put the IP address of the named server in HOSTS so it resolves locally?

Dunno if

might help with resolving the connection string?

I think that's where I got my connection strings from originially!

We were able to resolve this automagically -- rebooting the server showed us that the admin had disabled one of the IIS accounts. Once that was enabled our IP address connections were restored.
