sql 2008 express connection problems
- by user163457
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
