through ODBC. I can ping to the machine all shares are available but not abl
e
to get the ODBC connection with SQL. Please suggest what can be the reason
and how i can solve the same.

You may have installed MSDE with DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 which does not
enable the network protocols. In which case you should still be able to
connect to the server on the machine itself. You can enable them by running
the command utility svrnetcn.exe
