Help: I can open my database in Management Studio, but can't connect it in Integration Services

Received error tip:

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

I'm using the Evaluation Edition of SQL Server 2005, Windows XP SP2 Home Edition.

I have disabled the firewall.

You need to enable remote connections:

Yes, I have enable remote connections, but still wrong.

Can the Home Edition of Windows XP support SQL Server?

Hi, only the developer edition and the express edition are supposed to work on Windows XP Home (as of the offical system requirements, didn′t tested that out yet). Let me hear some feedback if that worked for you.
