Cannot connect remotely to SQL Express 2005

  • When I try to connect to another computer on my home network running SSEXP 2005 I get the following:

    The client was unable to establish a connection because of an error during connection initialization process before login. Possible causes include the following the client tried to connect to an unsupported version of sql server; the server was too busy to accept new connections; or there was a resource limitation (insufficient memory or maximum allowed connections) on the server. (provider: named pipes provider, error:0 –no process is no the other end of the pipe.) (Microsoft sql server, error:233)

    I can connect fine locally, but not from another box using Management Studio. Any assistance please.

  • Check if the remote connections are enabled or not.

    This article explains how to configure it.
