I can connect locally to the msde with no problem, but can't connect from another machine.  I do need to be able to use tcp/ip though.  Thanks!

I tried that and it looks like msde is not listening on tcp/ip.  Which is what I was thinking was occurring.  So how do I set msde up to listen...

A cmd window flashes and is gone.  No entry in the event log, no error message, no window with a list of parameters.  I can open cliconfg and edit those...

Nothing in the event log.

I tried that too, but I just get put back at the command prompt.
