More Connect Issues

I have an instance of SQL Server 2005 on two different development machines.
At first we could not connect to Machine A until we read about how it comes
locked down. We went to SQL Server Config Mgr and enabled all necessary
protocols and can connect just fine to it. When we did the same to machine
B, nothing happened. Our client apps just hang. The server is ping-able
but sql test connections just fail. Any thoughts what or where I could look
at next?
Regards.Xref: TK2MSFTNGP08.phx.gbl microsoft.public.sqlserver.connect:47973
I'm sorry this is the error message I'm receiving:
TITLE: New Server Registration
--
Testing the registered server failed. Verify the server name, login
credentials, and database, and then click Test again.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)
