Hi All,
Really anxious to resolve this problem occurring on my local machine..
Error: Cannot connect to <instance name>
Additional Info: A network related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to sql server. the server was not found or was not accessible. verify that the instance name is correct and that sql server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server)
i have SQl Server 2008 Enterprize Edition on Windows Xp 2002 SP-3..
regards:
Farhan.

Verify whether your sql server service is running. verify that the sql server instance name is correct.

Instance name is correct but when i try to start the service for the instance, it never starts..

What is the error message? Could you check from eventvwr and tell the error? Use SQL Server Error: “A network related or instance-specific error occurred”
