Cannot Connect to SQL Server Analysis Services - 2005

Help please!!! I tried everything I can think of - several re-installs, but I still can't connect to Analysis Services (named or default).

My SQL is installed on XP Pro. I get the following error message:

TITLE: Connect to Server

Cannot connect to RBM.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

A connection cannot be made. Ensure that the server is running. (Microsoft.AnalysisServices.AdomdClient)

No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it (System)

BUTTONS:

OK

What am I doing wrong? Does anyone have the answer? Microsoft? What is wrong? Help please!! - Hope your listenning to all the frustrations. I never had these issues with SQL 2000 - Analysis Services worked just terrific.

I need to get this working soon. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance to everyone.

Start by disabling the XP firewall. I have seen this message before when talking to the wrong port, or hitting SSAS 2000.

If this works you can configure the XP fiewwall to only have the relevant port open.
