How to: Configure SQL Express to accept remote connections « Ricardo D. Sanchez. This is a copy of the post that used to exist here for which I got some complaints since some people where still trying to read it when looking at an answer I wrote on StackOverflow a few years ago and the page was not there anymore. The above is an exact replica of the original post, hope it helps: I just installed SQL express 2008 recently and wanted to use it for a test application that I have in a hosted server. I wanted for this application to connect to my local SQL express 2008 database but soon I found out I needed to do some adjustments for this to work. So this is what I did to make my local SQL express 2008 db accept remote connections. Go to Start – All Programs – Microsoft SQL Server 2008 – Configuration Tools – SQL Server Configuration ManagerSelect and expand the SQL Server Network Configuration node and then select your SQL express 2008 database.
