MSDE OSQL Utility

Dear all,
I have a question about the OSQL utility and the installation of MSDE. I
tried to install MSDE and SQL Server on the same machine. This should work
some people told me. As a result however my application is no longer showing
me the available servers on the machine. (laptop).
I removed everything and reinstalled only MSDE.
When I use the OSQL utility and enter OSQL -L it says there are no servers.
Should it not say which server is available.
Has anyone experienced this before. My system is no longer showing the
available servers. My application still seems to work because when I type in
the name of the server manually it is located.
How can I solve this problem.
regards,
Danny Gaethofs

MSDE installs by default disabling network protocols in order to minimize
external (malicious) attacks, preventing the installed instances to be
available for remote connections and disabling it's broadcast enlisting for
available SQL Server/MSDE instances...
to make it available for remote users and to enable server enlistment you
have to use Server Network Utility (svrnetcn.exe) and enable the
desired/preferred network protocol(s)
