Activating MSDE for remote Access

I'm finding that when I install MSDE, by default no protocols are enabled
for remote access. I've found that I can use the SQL Server Network Utility
to enable the TCP/IP protocol and then the MSDE instance is accessible from
remote workstations.
But how can I do this without having the SQL Server Client Tools installed?
Is there a command line or configuration option I can use?
Thanks for your help,
Joe Geretz
I think I found it. DISABLENETWORKPROTOCOLS=0.

rely on SQL Server Client Tools because presumably, they won't exist locally
on the MSDE box.

on the box where MSDE has been installed, the Server Network Tools will be
alwayse available (as David already pointed out), and the Client Network
Tools (cliconfg.exe) too...
on all client, only the Client Network Tools will be available, installed by
MDAC...

(my vb6+sql-dmo little try to provide MS MSDE 1.0 and MSDE 2000 a visual
interface)

|||Thank David and Andrea!
I hadn't noticed that these tools are actually installed with MSDE. This is
great, exactly what I'll need.
Thanks,
