Connection refused: connect >Frustrating, but at least it's set up now... now I'm dealing with a >totally different problem, trying to set up an MSDE server on that >machine and not having any luck... I was able to get it installed once >but then couldn't connect to it with anything (MS SQL Enterprise >Manager, CF, ODBC) except a 3rd party tool called MSDE Manager (from >WhiteBear I think it was)...
