Server explorer problem

[Michael McTaggart]

Hi all,

I just installed Win 2003 enterprise on my laptop. I
also installed VS 2003. My Server Explorer works fine
until I unplug it from the network. When I unplug it
from the network I get a connection error message and a
big red X under the server node in Server Explorer when I
try to open it. I also cannot use the wizard to create a
data adapter, it doesn't find any available servers. I
tried creating a data access project in Access 03 and I
get the same problem. I have no problem opening SQL
Server Enterprise Manager when it is off the network.

Has anyone encountered this? I will have to use my laptop
off the network and it useless without data access.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions, Mike.

I am having almost the identical problem as yourself. The only difference
is that I am running VS.Net 2003 on Win Server 2003 on a desktop machine.
I am able to add a server to server explorer, but only when connected to
the Internet. When not connected to the Internet attempts to add the localhost
machine as a server in server explorer results in a dialog box which reads:
'The requested name is valid, but no data of the requested type was found.'
This error corresponds to the WinSock error code WSANO_DATA.

Sorry I could not be more helpful. Hopefully someone will provide us a work-
around to this problem.

When not connected, open a Command window, type: ipconfig /all
Does the machine have an IP address?
