I have been setup a Win2k3 Server and MSDE 2000 SP3, both of them can startup
success. But I can not connect MSDE with other computer, the error message
is connect fail ....something like that. I can connect MSDE in the Win2k3
Server when I type localhost to connect it. I can not connect it when i type
//server_name. I have been disable the firewall and network security in
Win2k3.
Thank you very much
Nelson

The default installation for MSDE 2000 SP3 will disable any network
libraries from being loaded so that the server instance is only accepting
connection through shared memory, or local connections. MSDE installs a
utility, svrnetcn.exe, that can be used to enable the network libraries and
allow remote connections. You will find this program in the Tools\Binn
directory under your MSDE install directory.

I have been do there. In the svrnetcn, choose TCP/IP, it will been show me
the port No.. I have been cheak it.
But I have been find a solution for that. When I install the Win2k3, I
should be choose auto. Setup network, MSDE will be work fine.

Thanks for your reply
