SQL server connection

[sara]

Hi All,

I was able to connect to MS SQL Server 2005 on my computer but after a
while I can not. When I want to connect to it using MS SQL Server
Management Studio I got this error:

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.
When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the
fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote
connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not
open a connection to SQL Server) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

Error Number: 2
Severity: 20
State: 0

Can you help me?
Thanks a lot in advance.

So you have SQL Server running locally? Have you checked that it is
still running?

It's not that you have SQL Express installed and you forgot to specify
the instance name?

Hi,

Thanks for your response. I use the SQL Server locally. I can not run
SQL Server. I am not very familiar with SQL Express but I do not think
I changed anything realted to it after installation. Thanks.

So did you verify that SQL Server is running? Use the SQL Server
Configuration Manager to examine this. You find it in the SQL Server program
group, under the sub-menu Configuration Tools.

Thanks a lot for your response. I went to SQL Server configuration
manager->sql server 2005 services->sql server is stopped and if I try
to start it fails and says that "the request failed or the service did
not respond in a timely fashion"

That's bad. But at least we know why you cannot connect from SSMS. :-)

Go to
C:\Prorgam Files\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL.1\MSSQL\Log and look in the
file ERRORLOG and see if there is an error message. Check that the date
of the file agrees with your last attempt to start the service.

Note: the exact path can vary if you installed SQL Server to another
path, or if you have more than once instance.

So it appears that you have problems with the VIA protocol. Do you need
to have the VIA protocol enabled? If not, use the configuration manager
to disable it. (I will have to admit that I know nothing about VIA.)

As long as you connect to SQL Server from your local machine, you only
need shared memory.

Thanks a lot for your help. The problem was from VIA protocol.
