Thank you for your input! I did check tcpip settings and all were good. I
did however find in the server logs that some intances (including the
default) were not listening or failing to bind to port 1433.
I ended up removing msde instance that I could not connect to and
reinstalling making sure to use the DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0 parameter.
After I did this, I could see all instances of msde on any computer from any
computer in my workgroup.
Good Luck!
