I have an instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 on my local machine, and today, when I try to connect via Management Studio (as I used to do with no errors, using Windows Authentication), I get the following error:
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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
Any sugestions?

My application server (say 192.168.100.1) and database server (say 192.168.100.2) both are on the same domain. I'm trying to create an ODBC connection from the application server to a SQL Server database on the database server, but at the time of login it generates this error:
Microsoft SQL Server Login
Connection failed:
SQL State: 'HYT00'
SQL Sever Error: 0
[Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Login timeout expired
I've checked all configuration for SQL Server and tried possible solutions without resolving this issue.
Important:
A DSN can be successfully created from my own PC but when attempting this server to server as described above, ODBC is facing this problem.
OK, I have got the solution. Sometimes, if SQL Server can't be found on network by its name while creating DSN in windows, the logging in takes time more than usual which tells ODBC manager that Database Server we are looking for is not responding or responding too late.
Solution.
Instead of selecting server from the list while making dsn, use 'server-ip\SQLExpress'.
e.g 192.168.100.2\SQLExpress.
Thats All.

I tried both window and SQL Server authentication but no success.
please help.
First Check whether any SQL Server Instance is running and exists.
You can check list of instances as per below:
Go to command prompt and type in “osql -L” or “sqlcmd -L”.
If instance is showing in list then check your credentials.
Start the sqlserver service. Nothing to do in stackoverflow. Move question to serverfault.
I want to connect to a remote SQL Server 2008 R2 instance installed on a remote Windows Web Server 2008, using SQL Server Management Studio Express. Can someone provide me all the necessary steps? I read some answers here, but nothing seems to work. I'm confused as to where (locally or remotely) to enable the SQL Browser, set TCP/IP ON, specify port 1499 etc.
enable SQLBrowser
open 1433 default port (in your case it may be different but 1433 is default)
enable SQL Server authentication for your instance
restart your SQL Server instance
Make sure your domain (sql server instance) is publicly/remotely accessible
From SSMS enter your SQL Server instance url/IP address
enter your credentials
this should be all.
