error logging in

  • i have installed sql server 2005 installed. it was working good.but today when i am trying to login. it shows following error.

    an error has occurred while establishing connection to server.when connecting to sql server 2005 , this failure may be caused by the fact under the default setting sql server does not allow remote connections.(provider:names pipes provider, error 40, could not connect to sql server)(microsoft sql server :error 2)

    i have installed sql server on my local machine.

    please help me.

  • Is the SQL Server service started? You can check it in "SQL Server Configuration Manager"
