QA goes, EM doesn't (previously posted on microsoft.public.sqlserver.server)

sory for repost but nobody on sqlserver.server helped me to solve this
:-(((((((((
---
AFAIK QA uses ODBC and EM uses OLE DB right?
anyway, I can connect using QA but not using EM.
tried with IP addredd too with no avail
what's wrong?
