Re: Cannot connect to SQL express database ????

Probably either the SQL Server Express instance has not enabled remote connections, or a firewall is blocking the connection.
Run through the short tutorial in Books Online and see if that solves the problem. The tutorial is also online at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms345318.aspx Note that lesson 2 is Connecting from Another Computer.
