database

Hi, I've just installed a fresh copy of SQL 2008 Express. before I did anything I opened Management Studio and successfully connected using Window Authentication.

However I tried to run the following on the command line "telnet localhost 1433" and got the error "Could not open connection to the host, on port 1433: Connect failed"

I checked netstat and there is nothing listening on port 1433.

Before I go any further, is there a problem with the install?

thanks, Shane
