Hello.
I have just installed MSDE 2000 with all the latest updates and advice for XP service pack 2. I can connect to any database using server "(local)" or the direct "IP-address" but when I use servername "MSSQLSERVER" I get the error:

Error == [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL-server does not exist or there is no permitted access to it (translated from another language).

What can be wrong here.
Hope someone can help.
