Hi There!
I've been looking online for a solution for a couple of days now and nothing seems to be working, I'm usingMicrosoft SQL Server Management Studio and I'm attempting to connect to a database, I have a Windows XP computer which uses the Express software and can connect fine but I need my laptop using Windows 7 to also connect.
I'm using the same login credentials on both computers and I'm getting the errors shown below, I have checked the firewall and the software is allowed and can use ANY port:
ERROR I get when attempting to connect via Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio:

And when I attempt theough ODBC Administrator I get:

I really need to get this up and running today as I have changes that need implementing, the information is correct it is something to do with the setup of the software or networking stopping this from working, I look forward to hearing your solutions.
