  • Is the SQL Server service running on the machine you are trying to connect to?

  • Ya it is running on the local machine

  • This is a local machine connection?

    What connection types have been enabled? (You can check in the SQL Server Configuration Manager.)

  • Are there any other versions of SQL installed on this machine? I've seen a similar error when trying to connect to older versions from newer versions, like using SQL 2008 SSMS to try and connection to SSIS on SQL 2005.
