accessing sql express peer to peer on xp home

HI

2 pc's networked on XP home - SQL Express installed on one (on both actually, but that's probably superfluous info)

I've got the CTP studio express installed on both, but can't connect to the instance on the other machine - I've enabled TCPIP and named pipes, restarted the services, the XP filewall is disabled and still no luck - I've got mixed mode authentication...

What else can I try - how do I fix ?

THanks

Bruce

I haven't tried this but instructions at

You can also use the Surface Area Configuration tool to enable remote connections.

Thanks
