Connection failure on MSDE 2000/XP installation

We have installed MSDE 2000 on XP For Tablet PC. All
applications that use ODBC to connect to the database work
well, however those applications that use either DBLIB or
E/SQL (embedded SQL built on top of DBLIB) return a "Failed
to get DBPROCESS" error. MSDE was installed with
SQL-Authentication and all apps are started locally on the
server running MSDE. All applications run succesfully under
SQL 2000. Using SQL Profiler to trace application-activity
results in NO events being logged/traced, suggesting that
no SQL commands ever reach the server. Any ideas ?
If they are connecting via tcp/ip, do you have an exception in the firewall
(presuming XP SP2 is installed)?
Is the protocol they are connecting on enabled? (see svrnetcn.exe).
