2005 Express Edition: telnet localhost 1433 fails

I don't understand why.
My SQL Server 2005 is called PC\SQLEXPRESS. I use PC\Robert (administrator)
account on Windows XP Professional. I use Windows Authentication. Remote
connections are switched on ("Using both TCP/IP and names pipes.")
Please help. Thank you.
/RAM/Is the SQL Browser Service enabled and started?
