Cannot Conenct To Server. [ Need Help ]
Hi,
I have recently wanted to start my own private server. Due to the fact I haven't found a server I have liked (yet). For reasons of things I like in the game ect..
Anyway, i have downloaded all the files and instaled them. I then opened "Microsoft SQl Server Management Studio Express" and tried connecting to server. After this it was connecting for about 6 seconds and then i get a messege. I will not write the message since I have screenshotted it. =P
Screenshot of the message after connecting:

I am not sure what to do, and have no idea what to do. Especially because I am new to the whole server thing. I couldn't find a way to fix this or get help. So I have posted here.
Please, if you know why this is and what I have done wrong. I would deaply appreciate it.
Thanks alot, Random.

Did you install SQL 2005 before trying to connect with Management Studio?

Use SQL authentication when you set it up.. make a password for the 'sa' user, the server name should typically just be the NETBIOS name of your computer or localhost. Login with SQL authentication. :)
