sql server msde : SQL-Server access from a Workstation

Hi,
we are installing our app at different sites. Normally it is a easy job, but
today we got problems.
The user had MSDE from before with Win NT authenticaton only. We changed
this to mixed mode. Then we used OSQL and sp_addlogin. Yesterday at another
customer this was enough to get access from the whole local network. But here
we could not access the database from even the server! We then used OSQL and
sp_addsrvrolemember on the login. This enabled us to access the database from
the server, but still not the workstations!
The server is NT 4.0 with IE6.0. The workstations has XP (not SP2)
Any suggestions?

hi Olav,
[quoted text, click to view]

are Network protocols enabled on the server (Server Network Utility ,
svrnetcn.exe)?
are the same Network protocols enabled on the remote workstations (Client
Network Utility , cliconfg.exe)?
are there connectivity issue in the lan?

Thanks Andrea U solved it. With Server Network Utility I enabled the
necessary protocols. Could the missign protocols be due to installing MSDE
with DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 ?

hi Olav,

DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 (default value) will disable network protocols for
the installed instance... yes.. it can be the source of your problem
