| This error could be used to a number of reasons - starting with the network being unaccessible to remote connections not being enabled on the server. This article has a detailed step by step instructions on how to diagnose the problem and fix it. Even though it says SQL 2005, it is equally applicable to your SQL 2008 connectivity problems: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sql_protocols/archive/2006/09/30/sql-server-2005-remote-connectivity-issue-troubleshooting.aspx |
