Not interested in the 4 pack but keep in mind that just
looking at the registry setting doesn't mean it is actually
running in that mode. If it was changed since startup, the
service needs to be restarted.
Try connecting with another client tool on another PC -
Query Analyzer or osql - with sa or login as the domain user
and use windows authentication to connect.
