It looks like you've installed Management studio only. Server doesn't come with it. Could you provide additional info on what steps you went through exactly? What install files did you use?
If you're looking to play with MS SQL Server, there is an Express version, it's free.

Here's mine, if it helps. See if you should have more to it, like SQLEXPRESSPC in my case.
You need to provide an instance name.
Instance Name has been provided during the installation process of SQL Server.
Inside the Server name combobox, you should type something like : .\SQLEXPRESS or .\MSSQLEXPRESS depending on your version of SQLServer.
The .\ refer to your local machine.
