Error 40

Hi Friends, While I am trying to connect to the database server I am getting the following error. ERROR: 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: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server) I checked my web.config file. I didnt find any errors in this. Please help me to solve this. I am using VS 2005 and SQL Server 2000 Thank you Jijo

How are you connecting, SQL based Authentication? (I.e. username and password), if so then SQL by default does not have this enabled, you'll need to open up the MMC snap-in for SQL and enable it. If the SQL Admin doesn't know how to do this then... Google :rolleyes:

It's tedious and somewhat cruel, most matches ending in a draw as no participant is able to find anything helpful. - Shog9 Ed
