You wouldn't want to give us a hint would you, like what actual error
message you're seeing perhaps?

By default, MSDE installs without any networking enabled. Did you pass
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 to setup.exe when you installed?

Without any more info from you, that's the best I can do.

Well, as it happens, I have the sense of it the wrong way around (it
should be =1 not =0), but the point still stands - As to changing it on
an existing instance, I'm not sure (this is why I've crossposted to
microsoft.public.sqlserver.msde)

Once we have that side of things sorted, what are you using to connect
to it? Enterprise Manager, Query Analyser, ADO.NET?

HTH,
