I am a newbie.
I recently installed SQL Server 2008 on my server.
When I try to login, it does not show me any server when in Browse (see below)
What could be wrong?
Please let me know.

Check that the SQL Server Browser service is running on the server, and that your instances are also running.
Kindly Restart your server and make sure that your sql server services are running, also your instance services are running.
You can check that in SQL Server Configuration Manager.

you must have stopped services in you SQL Server Configuration Manager other wise you have not installed SQL server on your server. Commented May 31, 2012 at 10:58

I installed SQL Server 2008 R2 Mangement Studio with Management Tools and that solved my problem.

Probably that solved it because it will (if properly checked in setup) start your SQL Server Browser service, like CodeByMoonlight suggests. This is something to watch if installing/uninstalling instances of MSSQL, setup may turn on/off the Server Browser. Commented Jun 1, 2012 at 12:34
