Normally I would say that there is a firewall between the MOSS server and the SQL Server, however with the fact that the database was created would tend to prevent this from being the case.

When happens if you rerun the installer. I know that sometimes the installers connect correctly.

Are you using a names instance or the default instance of the database?
