A client reinstalled their OS to service pack 4 and since then are unable to
connect to Microsoft SQL servers which they require

These are some of the errors they receive, SQL Server is IP based

[DBNMPNTW] Specified SQL Server Not Found
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Drive][Named Pipes]Specified SQL Server not
found

They are attempting to connect via ODBC

Any ideas?

You may need to alter the network library used for the connection. For the
file or system DSN check the client configuration. Possibly try TCP/IP
instead of named pipes.

As Dave said, it should be a client configuration issue.
Start -> Run -> Clinconfg -> TCP/IP -> Enable.
