We're using both VS.NET 2005 and VS.NET 2003. I just noticed that my
Server Explorer in VS.NET 2005 does not contain the "SQL Servers" node
underneath my local server. This node appears correctly in VS.NET
2003.

What do I need to install, or turn on, to get the "SQL Servers" node to
appear in the Server Explorer for VS.NET 2005?

I can create the data connection, but that's not what I want to do. I
want the old "SQL Server" node so that explore *all* database catalogs
on the server.

How can I get that back again?

It is the normal behavior. You have to connect to your local SQL server.
