Accessing SQL Server

I am having problems accessing SQL Server 2005 Develper in my virtual PC from
the Host.

I run a Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bits as host and created a Virtual PC with
Windows XP Pro.

I have SQL Server 2005 Developer in the virtual PC and SQL Server Express
2008 in the Host.

When I try to access SQL 2005 from the host or SQL 2008 from the VPC I get
an error message saying maybe the server is configured not to accept remote
connections.

I checked and both SQL servers are set up to accept connections from the
local area network.

Both Windows Firewalls are set to let pass SQL connections to the default
port.

I can connect from both PCs to external (WAN) SQL servers. I can transfer
files between the two computers without problem.

The VPC is using the adapter on the physical computer as networking
configuration.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
