MSDE searching for servers on the network.

Hi,
I have a MSDE installation on the network. I have no need though to
talk to any other MSDE servers or visa versa.
Is it possible to stop MSDE looking for other servers on the network
and also stop other servers finding me?
Thanks
Lee
Hi Lee,
Run svrnetcn.exe and disable all network protocols. Access the MSDE using
shared memory instead (use server name (local) ), even choose the "Hide
Server" option in the properties of TCP in that screen.
