I have success managing my Developer edition of SQL Server 2005 when the SS
Management Studio is on the local machine with the  SQL Server instance.
However, I can't seem to manage another Developer edition on a another
machine on my small local network (peer to peer).

Is Developer edition of SQL Server 2005 designed not to allow remote
administration or do I need to play with security features some more.

Developer edition is local only by default.  You will have to enable remote
connections in the Surface Area Configuration tool.  If your Dev Edition is
not running as the default instance you will also have to enable and start
the SQL Browser.

Whoa! You Da Man!!

So, what is Server Properties/Connections/Remote Server Connections do?

Who would have thought that is what the Surface Area Configuration Tool was
for.

Nothing you need to know. :-) "Remote server" is a legacy concept from
the days of SQL 6.5, and is about servers connecting to servers. This
concept was already in SQL 7 superseded by linked servers.

Everything is off by default when you install, even connectivity from
another machine.  This is a protection mechanism against hacking, because
the majority of SQL Server installs are actually to provide the data store
for an application which accesses them locally.  The Surface Area
Configuration utility has been completely documented and there are thousands
of references to it in books, articles, presentations, web seminars, etc.
Turning on remote connections is also very well documented as a step in the
installation process.
