Connet to MS SQL Express



I am trying to connect from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio to
Miscrosoft SQL Express database, but getting the following error

Cannot connect to reports01.

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error
occurred during the pre-login handshake. When connecting to SQL Server
2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings
SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes
Provider, error: 0 - No process is on the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft
SQL Server, Error: 233)




I have the remote Database server set to 0 connections = Unlimited.

What else can I check or set to connect to this Database?



Thank you


Peter
