Cannot Register the server

I've installed an Instance of MSDE on a Win2k Machine and and WinXP Machine.
I'm able to register the Instances locally through EM (v.8.0), but when I
try to register them from a different PC with EM on it, I get the following
error.
SQL Server does not exist or access is denied. ConnectionOpen (Connect()
Is MSDE limited to local Enterprise Management?
Wack
This message will self destruct.

please verify the network protocols are enabled via Server Network Utility
(svrnetcn.exe)...
MSDE installs by default disabling network protocols in order to prevent
external connections/attacks... you have to provide the
DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0
parameter at install time in order to force network protocols to be enable,
or, later afte install, use svrnetcn.exe to enable and configure the desired
protocol

|||Thanks. I finally discovered that. Also, on XP SP2, you need to allow port
1433 through the firewall.
