Problem Connection Maximo 6.2.1 to MS SQL Server

When installing maximo 6.2.1, in section Creating Maximo Database using maxinst, problem arise: cannot connect to database (MS SQL Server 2000).
in this condition, Maximo application and Database are installed in the separate server.

Problem solved when MS SQL Server 2000 is patched using SP3, both on the Maximo application server (database client) and in the database server.
