I'd like to ask some help. My prob may seem very basic but as a matter of fact i'm a newbie to .net and sql 2005. I'm trying out this product but I encountered an error. After installing sql server express 2005, and using my server instance name (the default name "SQlExpress" during install) and password to connect, I always get the error "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion... blah blah blah". Though I entered the right user name and password (which I entered during install), I always get this error.
Additional: I indicated mixed mode during install and defined my sa account and password
Anyone who can help me.. like adjusting configs, etc...

Is the SQL Server service started?
Also, refer to the blog posted here:

|||Thanks Rob! This helped me a lot.|||Chaps,I have the same problem. (Including the novice attributes).
What was the fix? I looked through the blog as suggested but could not readily find the cure.
