SQL Express Connecting via Local Network

Is it possible to connect to an instance of sql express via another computer on my home network. I have tried but the connection always fails. What settings should I be looking out for? What are good words to search on? I have enabled TCP/IP Always get a message saying 'SQL servers does not exist or access is denied'

thanks

Have you also checked your firewall? Either allow SqlServr.exe and/or port 1433 access through it.
