sql server 2005

  • someone can help me please, when i try to connect to the instance of sql server 2005, i got this message.

    a network-related or instance-specific error occured while establishing a connection to sql sever. The server was not found or was accessible. Verify the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.(provide:SQL network interfaces, error:26-error locating Server/Instance specified)(Microsoft SQL Server).

    thank you

  • could be a number of issues

    is sql browser running?

    is the sql server running?

    firewall blocking the TCP port

    sql only set to accept local connections
