connection problem

Hi.
I have installed Microsoft SQL Server Desktop on Windows XP Pro. I can
connect to database from remote machines with Windows 98Se, but i can't
connect from machines with Windows XP.
ChrisI think that it is a problem with not having the 'correct' client network
utilities installed.
On the Start menu, select [All Programs], [Microsoft SQL Server], th
en
[Client Network Utility].
In the [Enabled Protocols] window, you should have both TCP/IP and Named
Pipes.
If one is missing, select the missing protocol from the list on the left
side, and click the [Enable] button.
Hopefully, if my memory is correct, that will take care of the problem.
