SQL Browser service won't start

I tried the instructions in sqlexpress's WebLog to connect to a remote database.

Using SQL Server Configuration Manager I enabled TCP/IP and then tried to start the browser service.

When I right clicked the icon, all the options (Start,Stop,etc) are grayed out.

Can anyone help me with this, please

Thank you

    Thanks for the quick reply.

    Unfortunately, I don't know what you mean by enabling the browser.

    Where and how do I do that

    Looks like browser is disabled. First you should enable browser, then click Start.

    Hope, it helps.

    Oops, sorry, I'm an idiot.

    Properties, Service, Start Mode to Automatic

    Thanks
