Can you connect to the other Server using other means? Can you ping the
other server?
Can you connect to the other server using Query Analyzer?
Is the MSSQLServer service running on the other server?
Just a few things to check first.

If you want to create another new instance, you need to
install SQL Server from the installation CD.
