How do i connect to server on Microsoft SQL Server 2005?
I have just installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005. When I start the Server Management Studio, it displays a “Connect to Server” dialog box. I have tried my best to connect to the serevr, but i dont know which server the programming is asking to connect to. I am assuming it’s a local server that is set up on my machine since the setup required me to install Windows IIS, but i have no idea how to connect to it.

I am frustrated and i need to use this software pronto, since i have assignments and deadlines to complete for my Enterprise Computing course.
