Are you using NTAuth or SQL auth to get in? As a quick test, create a datasource that uses the sa -- that verifies that SQL Auth is working correctly and the db is accessible. Then try connecting using NTAuth with whatever account you personally use to connect to the database (through things like Enterprise Manager or Query Analyzer).
That login "\" usually means something is messed up with NTAuth. Another quick check, you can do an admin-level share between the web server to the sql box using an account with sql permissions -- that will handle a bad set of credentials. Note that none of these are long-term solutions -- just ways to check/address the connectivity -- you want to isolate problem and of course fix it -- leaving CF connecting as SA can be bad news!
