Cannot connect to Server through Visual Studio .NET and Query Analyzer

[JM]

Good day. I was able to connect to a database server using SQL Server
Enterprise Manager. The Server name specified on the tree is
JOMARGON(Windows NT). But no server was detected using either Visual
Studio .NET and SQL Server's query analyzer.

I highlighted one database (master) on the SQL Server Enterprise
Manager and chose 'SQL Query Analyzer' under the 'Tools' menu. It
worked. The Title of the Query Analyzer window is

SQL Server Analyzer - [Query- JOMARGON.master.JOMARGON\JM Gonzalez

and below on the status bar, I can see

JOMARGON(8.0) and JOMARGON\JM Gonzalez(52)

But again, I cannot connect manually using Query Analyzer as nothing is
listed in the SQL Server drop-down list
Thanks

I am able to connect to the server using query analyzer. All I did was
restart my PC. The server name was JOMARGON.

But the only problem is, I still cannot connect to the server using
Visual Studio .NET's Server Explorer. Please help.

Thanks.

Just type in the name of the server.

So what happens when you specify the server name?
