[dba-SQLServer] Can't Register Server

Charlotte,
   Excuse me but how exactly does DSL break SQL Server???
I have the developer version on my Windows 2000 PRO SP4 at home and it 
runs fine and even when I got a router all I did was litterally power 
down the pc, install the router and then power it back up... I 
litterally had not configuration issues.

Did you load any software because of your DSL?
