Here's what comes to mind for me.... Did you test it by telneting from the web server? I also leave TCP/IP and "shared" enabled, but disable named pipes and any other network libraries (using the sql config tool).
Also make sure that you create a user name for CF using "standard" security (not AD security) and make sure that when you create it you set it so that the password does not need to be changed on first usage. -Mark Mark A.
