My computer name used to be 215_821 but I changed it to 215-821 because the underscore was causing IIS problems. Now I can't connect to my local SQL databases. I get this error...

An error has occurred while trying to connect to the server ... this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

What do I need to do? Thanks.

Nevermind. The service stopped on reboot. It's official - I'm retarded.
