enabled/disabled protocols for an msde instance

Hi folks,
Wondering if someone could help me out with an msde/windows sp2 problem.
Upon installing sp2, the network protocols for my msde instance become
disabled: Sm, Np, Tcp, Via. Is there a command line syntax I can use to
re-enable these network protocols? Or is there a windows interface to enable
them? basically my msde instance is now standalone, no other workstations
can talk to that sql instance. I can't install sp3 for msde because the
manufcaturer used merge modules (bleh!).
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

please run Server Network Utility (svrnetcn.exe) and re-enable the desired
protocol...
with MSDE sp2 level you are exposed at Slammer/Saphire troubles, which have
ben solved with service pack 3 - 3/a..
lot of security problems has been addressed to with that sp, so please
"force" your ISV to ship sp3, as it's been out for quite 1 year, and it
should already had enougth time to test and ship it...
