MSDE Not Listening on 1433
Friday, October 27, 2006, 10:35 PM - DataBases, Sql Server
I tried to connect to my MSDE instance tonight with the MySQL Migration tool, and couldn't get in. Apparently MSDE was not listening..

I found the following advice, which worked GREAT!

You need to enable TCP/IP on the server end, not just the
client. You can use the server network utility,
svrnetcn.exe.
The utility can be found in the Tools\Binn directory of your
installation path.

All I had to do was use this utility to enable the TCP/IP protocol, restart the service, and voila.
