RE: List SQL servers in a network

Hi Oliver,

It does work on XP (I have used it). The SQL Server 2000 documentation is
pre-XP.

I do not understand this question. How do you expect to be able to list SQL
Servers on the network when the standalone is not connected?
ListAvailableSQLServers will only be able to list local instances if the
computer is not connected.
