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.Hi Daniel

SQL Express instance from another machine. It can be changed by using the th
