If the Surface Area Configuration tool is out to lunch, try the SQL Server
Configuration Manager. Find the node for SQL Server 2005 Network
Configuration, and then protocolls fro SBSMONITORING. Double-click
TCP/IP, and go the IP Addresses node. There you can enable/disable
TCP/IP for each IP address the machine has.
