Looking for how to for SQLexpress

I recently installed SQL express on my winXP machine at home... Installed
and configured IIS as requested. I have created a simple table for testing
but cannot establish a DSN connection using either SQL or SQL Native driver
It mentioned something about allowing remote connections, but that feature
is turned on.. so not sure what else i need to configure to allow me to
connect so i can start testing some things out..
any sites or even books i can take a look at to complete this would be
great.

A remote connection should only be needed if you are trying to access your
SQL Express instance from another machine. It can be changed by using the the
Surface Area Configuration Tool SQLSAC.exe see previous post
