I can't connect to SQL Server Express 2005

These tools are made for each other, why can't they just work? I get this error
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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)

I've already gone into the Surface Area configuration and enabled remote connection with Named Pipes and TCP/IP and rebooted the server.
 
SQL Server 2005 is installed on an application server, and SQL Server Management Studio Express is installed on my XP workstation. The server is a fully patched Win 2003 SP1 and my workstation is a fully patched Win XP Corp SP2. Oddly, I can connect to our old SQL 2000 servers with SQL Server Management Studio Express.
