sql server msde:
I installed the MSDE 2000 Release A on XP (Home ed.)
using the command: setup sapwd="fruit" DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
Then I installed the Web Data Administrator.

After invoking the SQL Web Data Administrator app,
the "Desired Port" is 80
and the "Cassini Personal Web Server" is selected.

On clicking [Start] button, the IE starts and
when I enter
Username: sa
Password: fruit
Server: (local)
The Authentication method: "Windows Integrated".

The browser tells me back
"Username is formatted incorrectly. Please use computername\username"

Next I go to "System Properties" -> "Computer Name" tab on my XP
and find the "Full computer name" to be TUNDRA (all in caps)
So I again try as follows:

Username: TUNDRA\sa
Password: fruit
Server: (local)
The Authentication method: "Windows Integrated".

Now the browser tells me
"Invalid username and/or password, or server does not exist.".

Could someone tell me what am I missing here...

Are you sure MSDE is installed as a base instance? Is it possible it's a
named instance? See if there are any services named MSSQL$something instead
of just MSSQL ...

question...
* how can I find out if MSDE got installed as a base or named instance...

In my XP (Home ed.) -> "Administratove Tools" -> "Services" window,
I find the two entries
name: MSSQLSERVER status: started
name: MSSqlServerADHelper status: manual

Hi Bill,

In addition to what Aaron mentioned, the "sa" user is not part of "Windows
Authentication". It is using "Mixed Mode" or "SQL Server Authentication".

Hi Bill,

That's a default instance. Named instances would have service names like
MSSQLSERVER$instancename
