Exporting A Table To Excel Using Bcl Utility (Newbie)

I am trying to learn SQL 2005 Express and I am having a problem exporting (if that is the correct word) a table to Excel.

I have created a view in the Northwind database called MyCustomerView and want to practice working with the table.

From the command prompt:

bcp Northwind.dbo.MyCustomerView out MCV.xls -S -T

I then get the error message:

c:> bcp Northwind.dbo.MyCustomerView out MCV.xls -S -T

SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 10061

Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]TCP Provider: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.

SQLState = HYT00, NativeError = 0

Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]Login timeout expired

SQLState = 08001, NativeError = 10061

Error = [Microsoft][SQL Native Client]An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

This is on a single machine running Widows XP Home.

Help Please
