So there was one hitch in the get-along. For whatever reason, the install I just posted about wouldn't allow my network account to login. So, I had to add that account in the Security folder after logging into SQL Mgmt Studio as 'sa'. Sheesh! I did set Mixed Mode authentication on. Anyhow, the good thing is that now I can use (local) and integrated security=true in my connection strings.
