Newbie needs to be told where to go! (Cross-Post)

Greetings:
I've been developing web applications with asp/sql and access for some
time now on existing servers. I am now in a situation that requires me to
install SQL Server (SBS 2K sp3) as the backend for an intranet served from
IIS. I've installed the SQL services and have created the database and I
have some of the web based application written, no problem, but I've yet to
be able to access the database that I created on the newly installed SQL
server from the web based applications. Even after setting up the virtual
directory with the IIS SQL snap-in, I only get a DNS Server not found error
when I try to browse the site. If I remove the IIS/SQL virtual directory, I
can browse pages that don't error out due to data references.
Where can I find a walk through for setting up SQL Server and IIS to
function together in this very basic manner?
Thanks in advance.

Preliminarily, this appears to be what I'm looking for. I didn't think
to use ODBC and a DSN. What are the major differences between ODBC and
"direct" connection? There will be under 30 clients using the DB - this is
an on demand intranet application and will be hit lightly and sporadically
throughout the day. The SQL server is also the PDC and fileserver/DFS root
and gateway. (2K SP4)
