Can .NET Application access SQL 2005 Express remotely?

I am tring to access the SQL 2005 Express which installed in remote machine. Front end app is on Visual Studio 2005. Try to connect SQL Express using the application Layer which is installed on the computer where SQL Express is installed. Could not fetch data from the SQL Express. What could be the problem?

hi,

SQLExpress installs by default disabling remote connections..

have a look at the resources listed by Arnie,
