Can't connect to local instance of MS SQL 2008 R2
I just installed MS SQL 2008 R2 in my development computer, first the Enterprise Manager then the Engine.
Installation went fine and both programs run ... but when I try to connect to my local server I click browse and nothing comes up, I tried entering (local) no luck. I named the instance: MSSQLSERVER
I enter that name, nothing either.
Any ideas ?
