Mark,

On clicking Surface area configuration link, a small window appears with the following links

1) Surface Area configuration for Service and connections.

2) Surface Area configuration for features.

Seems like you clicking only on second link to check for the services.

You can manage Sql Server 2005 services as well as remote connections from the first link.

Please let me know incase you have any query or need further clarifications.

Best Regards

Sachin
