PS: I have done isql ? and studied the commands and have tried any one of a number of things. I do see the server listed as an announced network server when I do an isql -L ... well I am unsure why isql does not work"

According to BOL:

All DB-Library applications, such as isql, work as SQL Server 6.5–level clients when connected to SQL Server 2000. They do not support some SQL Server 2000 features. The osql utility is based on ODBC and does support all SQL Server 2000 features. Use osql to run scripts that isql cannot run.
