I have a VB.NET app using MSDE and the SQL-DMO to get a list of available
server. I installed a copy of MSDE on the users' machine (this machine did
not have MSDE previously so it was a new copy including latest SP3), then
installed my app. When I start my app, the local computer name does not
show up in the list of available servers. This has happened twice now on
separate machines. Is there something I need to do after installing MSDE
for it to register as a server? Note: I know MSDE is installed and running
because my app creates and properly fills databases on the local machine, it
just doesnt show up in the list of available servers.

Thanks
