Try using the ip address of your computer instead of the computer name and
see if it connects...How were you trying to connect, using sql server
authentication or Windows authentication? Try to connect using sql server
authentication. If this is a fresh install, sa user will probably have a
blank password, use the sa account to try to connect and see if it does.
HTH.
