Installed OK but cannot logon

I just installed MSDE (got successful install msg in Log) but now cannot logon.
I get 'Connection failed SQL State 08001 Error 17
I'm using the SA userid and password I entered upon installing
I'm attempting this via Visual Studio 2003
What could the problem be?

is this a local or remote connection?
try connecting via oSql.exe and verify the full exception you are prompted
