Connecting to MSDE via client

Hope someone can explain why this happened.
I installed MSDE on a Winxp workstation.
I then setup clients to access MSDE via TCP/IP using the (Static) IP Address
address of the workstation.
Connection successful
I then removed MSDE2000 and installed MSDE2000 sp3a
Went I to connect to MSDE via TCP/IP and could not connect using the IP
When I changed to The machine name I could connect to MSDE2000
Anyone with any idea.
Server was winXP and workstations Win98 and Win08se.
Regards
Jeff

Check that the Server (via sql server network utility) is configured to
use TCP/IP. Also check your client is configured like this too (client
network utility).
