MSDE Not Connected

Hi,

I installed MSDE 2000 SP3 to use the ASP.NET QuickStart samples on
my Windows 2000 machine. I ran
setup.exe /qb+ INSTANCENAME=VSDOTNET DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=1 SAPWD<my password>

I then ran the QuickStart installer.

These steps were documented by MS.

But when I rebooted, the SQL Service Manager was 'Not Connected'
and the circle in front of the server icon was blank/white. Also the QuickStart samples that connect to MSDE won't and give errors like 'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: SQL Server does not exist or access denied.' or '...Login failed for user '<my server name>\ASPNET'

When I run 'osql -E -S <my server name>\VSDOTNET' command I get '1>'. So there is a connection that's possible. Also the MSSQL$VSDOTNET is Started.

Any suggestions?Try running the SVRNETCN.exe tool to find out what protocols MSDE is using. I had a similar problem (not with .NET) and found that NO protocols were selected. Ergo, no connection possible.

C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\80\Tools\Binn\SVRNETCN.exe

Thanks I ran it and restarted the MSSQL$VSDOTNET service, but I
don't see any change. Sorry I don't know much of this. Your right
there were no protocols selected so I enabled TCP/IP. What is the
SQLAgent$VSDOTNET service? It's setup as a Manual startup.

Any more tips? I would assume that when I installed MSDE and
setup the instance that I would see the small green right pointing
arrow in the Service Manager icon. The Manager still says Not Connected.
??|||Sorry,

I rebooted and got an automatic connection/Sql Server Service
started.
Thanks for your help.
