| Not very familiar with the Express edition, but you may want to check if remote connections are enabled. It would be in SQL Server Surface Area configuration tool under Database Engine -> Remote connections. |

| Also you may need to add the SQL port (1433) to the exception list of the firewall.Couple of notes; if you have named instance then you must specify name of the instance along with the name of your computer e.g. on remote machine 192.168.0.1\SQLNamedInstance or ComputerName\SQLNamedInstance would be the server names, If it is the default instance name then you can just type in the computer name/IP as the server.CheersMIK |

| Check that remote connections are enabled in surface area configurations this is always turned off my default. |
