experience a hard time to connect to the database my dbase is sql express ed 2005

hi to all , well i succesfully installed SQL server 2005 express edition in windows 2000 however when i am trying to connect my program thru ODBC im having a difficulty to connect. but based on my observation if i am not connected to the internet i cannot connect to my database but if i am connected to the internet i could access the SQL server 2005 express edition.i have read the hardware requirements for SQL server 2005 express edition i have upgraded the IE5 into IE6 SP1,windows 2000 SP4, even my memory to 1GB.but still i have the problem.

my question is, do i have to maintain my connection to the internet for me to have a smooth SQL connection?

BTW, i badly need the answer.Bigthanks!

Have a look at my screencast for enabling Remote connections, that should help. They are available in the screencasts section of my site.
