MSDE; connect to server

I have loaded msde onto my machine with SP3. When I start up my machine, I look at the services table and it appears to be running at //machine_name/vsodotnet. I am assuming because when I downloaded, I downloaded the version for .Net users. Don't think that has anything to do with my problem.

My problem is that I am having trouble connecting to the SQL server through an Access project. When I open a new project, a wizard automatically pops up asking what SQL server I want to connect to. When I choose this server I get an error that simply states "overflow". This is generated as an error message from within the wizard.

Also, there is a system tray icon to connect to a SQL server. This does not even list my server name and when I type it in, it does not seem to recognize it.

Does anybody have any ideas what might be happening.

Thanks,
Chris
