c# 2005 express edition install difficulty

I just installed express and found out that it won't connect to any of our
production Sql Server 2000 data or Sql Server 2003 MSDE (my local
development db). Another one of our developers installed Sql Server 2005
express with the c# 2005 express and couldn't connect to his production box
(also SS 2000) and screwed up Enterprise manager.
Has anyone else had this problem'Peter

off the box where it is installed. Have you enabled network connections and
opened any firewalls to allow connections?
