Can't use 'local' to find sql server instances on local machine

My computer (connected to a domain) is having trouble connecting to the
local MSDE when using 'local' or '(local)' as server name. The only way I
can connect to server through Visual Studio or DTS in Enterprise manager is
when using domainname\localcomputername format. Also when I try to install
the starter kits from asp.net, the installer in each kit fails to find sql
server instances. I am pretty sure it's related to fact the installer is
probably using 'local' or a derivative for the local server name which does
not work.

Any ideas?

There is always option to run SQL scripts manually.
It's documented in the readme file. I recal i did not have any problem.
