Hi

I am trying to connect to SQL Server Managements Studio. However, I am encountering connection problems. Please help....

Error...

TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------

Cannot connect to MSSQL1.

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: TCP Provider, error: 0 - No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 10061)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=10061&LinkId=20476

------------------------------
BUTTONS:

OK

check whether your server name is in running or stopped in Sql Server Configuration Manager.If it is stopped then right click on it and say start.
