Enabling sql server 64 bit for network use -- configuration manager blank

Viewed 1039

I have a sql server instance on a machine that I want to open up to being accessible over the network. However, I think there's multiple issues at play here and I'm not sure which one is the real contributing factor.

The version I'm using is:

select @@version

Microsoft SQL Server 2014 - 12.0.2269.0 (X64) Jun 10 2015 03:35:45 Copyright (c) Microsoft Corporation Enterprise Edition: Core-based Licensing (64-bit) on Windows NT 6.3 (Build 14393: )

I believe I need to enable network configuration in the SQL Server Configuration Manager, but when I look into my manager, I don't see anything of use:

Is there anything that clearly leaps out as to why this would be blank? Am I going about this the right way?
