I cannot seem to connect to this Instance locally which was i able to
in the past. I can connect to the instance from out side. The instance
is running and the DBs in the instance are available and used
successfully by the applications but i cannot connect to the instance
using the enterprise manager.

the error i get is

SQL Server does not exist or access denied

What version of SQL Server is the instance running?

What name has the instance? Or is the default instance?

How do you specify the server in Enterprise Manager?

Sorry for responding by asking questions, but you did not provide
information enough to tell what the problem might be.
