    On a hunch I thought that maybe the DLL's were removed when
BackupExec was removed (as you know Backupexec will install MSDE for
it's purposes of tracking backups).  I checked for the default
DBNETLIB.DLL (TCP/IP) and then DBNMPNTW.DLL (Named Pipes) but found
that they were still in the system, the next thing I thought was that
possibly the client network utility didn't have them enabled, so I
poped it open and sure enough they were "not" enabled.  A quick enable
and my agent was back online
