Someone please help me, Im trying to set up SQLServer on my website(IIS v4.0) and I cant seem to get any web apps that use SQL to intall correctly, I get errors like, SQL does not recieve remote connections by default, or just 'Server Not Found'.
This is what I need to know
- How to set SQL to accept incomming remote connections
- Where to find the Name of the SQL instance
- Is it a good idea to have a password on the db, and how do I add one
- A walkthrough on how to set up SQL Express 2005(what to do after the istall is complete)
As you can see Im very new to SQL. So any information you could give to help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

1. Here is a KB Article that goes through setting up remote connections. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/914277
2. With SQL Server 2005 Express the server install defaults to ".\SQLEXPRESS" for the instance. To find the name though you can check the windows service list in the Services mmc inside the administration folder under the control panel. The name will be inside brackets beside the SQL Server Service.
3. You should try and stay with Windows Logons for the security.. if you do need to use sql logons you should try a strong password on the database accounts.
