SQL Error running Timer Project

I down loaded the Timer project in Vis Express. It says it should run right on install. When I run it I get the following Error

" An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connection to SQL server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under default setting SQL server does not allow remote connections."

Thats clear enough but how do I change that setting.

Thanks

    I have the same question. How do I change the default setting in SQL Server 2000 to allow remote connections.

    When I go to Server Properties>Connections The Box "Allow other SQL Servers to connect remotely to this SQL Server" is checked.

    So why is SQL Server 2000 refuding the connection

    I have both SQL Server 2000 & 2005 running on my desktop. But I cannot make the connection from 2005 to 2000. I get this error message:

    An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)

    Thank you
