I just installed a fresh SQL Server 2005 MSDN and tried to use the
management console, but all attempts to logon fail.
Message says 'failure may be caused by the fact that under the default
settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.'

How can I change these settings or otherwise get a connection?

Thanks.
