Hi,
Is there a firewall between the client and the database server?
Are you connecting to the correct machine and instance?

Hi,
SQL 2005 has option to block remote connection, make sure that "Allow Remote Connection" is enabled in SAC Tool

This problem occurs SQL 2005 onwards., Generally DBA's change the SQL Server permission, i.e. means allow the remote users.

Sometimes I get caught by this message when I try to connect to a server on which the SQL Server service has not been started, an easy thing to check, and for me, an easy thing to forget.
