Big problem connecting SQLEXPRESS within a vb net application

Hello.
I've an application that has to do a bunch of "SELECT" and INSERT into a
couple of tables. On my machine everything works fine, but if I try to
deploy the app on a VM for a test i have many probs.
The most common is "(Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a
connection to SQL
Server)", but using (local)\SQLEXPRESS i've "Request for the permission of
type
'System.Data.SqlClient.SqlClientPermission, System.Data, version=2.0.0.0,
Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e89'" too...I think it's a
connectionstring problem. I used "Data Source=(local)\SQLEXPRESS;Initial
Catalog=Clienti;Integrated
Security=True", where "Clienti" is the DB, but i tried the string I found on
http://www.connectionstrings.com/?carrier=sqlserver2005 too.
It's being absurd...please give me an help...thanks...
Ah, did you enable TCP/IP on the target server? Why are you using named
pipes? If you do, you must enable additional ports in the firewall (if there
is one).

I both did everything...enabled TCP/IP and Remote Connection, opened port
1431 default port...
