MSDE Installation

I have tried intalling MSDE on 2 machines and on each of
them after the installation i get the small server icon
running in system tray, but the circle is white and says
cannot connect.
Thanks
Hi ezahnle,
Try double-clicking on the icon and then, in the spot for a servername, try
your computer name and then click connect. If you specified an INSTANCE NAME
while installing, you'll need to put:
computername\instancename
instead.
