Hello Dear Experts,
Please help me with this.I am using MS SQL Server 2005(Version 9.00.2047.00).When I try to connect to the server with MS SQL Server Management Studio Express following error message came.

=========================================================
[I copied from the technical details of the error message.]
===========================================================
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. 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: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)
