It still fails.  However, I have realised a couple of points

1) The documentation says that sqlServer doesn't allow remote connections by 
default - this may be stopping me from connecting
2) I have installed a test version of dbArtisan (I know this should connect 
ok) - Fails to connect.  However this may be because Microsoft have put a '\' 
in the server name, and the dbartisian GUI won't allow me to enter a '\'.
