Is Enterprise Value on a debt and cash free basis the same as the Equity Value?

I need to calculate the Enterprise Value on a debt and cash free basis.
Enterprise Value = Equity + Debt; now leaving debt and cash out this seems to be the same as the equity value?
What is the difference? Could you give an example?

Thank you!

Answers:
Enterprise Value = Value of Equity + Value of Debt - Adjustments for Cash/Working Capital

So if a company had no debt and no excess cash then the enterprise value would equal the equity value.
