Cannot see SQL Express 2005 from SQL Server 2k

I am running SQL Server 2k version 8.00 on one pc (A) on a lan, and SQL
Express 2005 version 9.0
on another (B). I can see the 2k server on A from Management Studio Express
on B but not the other way round.
Is this a limitation or have I just done something wrong?
Thanks in advance.
Peter CroftIIRC SQL Server Express' tools are limited in functionality. I just tried it
here in the lab and I can't connect to any external servers.
Ah, why not just plop down the $39.95 and get the Developer Edition. Its
tools are unlimited.

but not "in".
