Hi there!,
Check the following thread:
http://community.spiceworks.com/topic/334543-excel-cannot-connect-to-the-sharepoint-list
Our problem ended up being a 3rd party monitoring agent/service we activated on the server.
Check the OP - I list what I've tried. Perhaps you may find your problem there?
