I have installed an instance of SQL Server 2008 Express R2 on my machine, and I'm having troubles with the configurations...

I am trying to enable remote connections in general (although I'm currently interested only in using the loopback address...)

What am I supposed to do?

Thanks.

Use Sql Server Management Studio. Right click the instance in question, go to Properties -> Connections -> Check "Allow remote connections to this server".

You might also have to enable TCP/IP Protocol to be enabled thru Configuration Manager, and you may need to open the appropriate ports in your firewall.

How is it done? The "Allow remote connections..." is checked by default, but what am I supposed to config in the Configuration Manager?
