the server name as SHUCHI...it gives me error as:
cannot connect to SHUCHI
additional information: An error has occured 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 connection to SQL Server)(Microsoft
SQL Server,Error:2)
n in the surface area configuration for services and
connection-localhost wheneva i m clicking on Surface area configuration
it gives me error as:
No sql server 2005 components were found on the specified computer.

shuchi.Are you able to run SQL Server Configuration Manager?
If so, try enabling named pipes.
If that doesn't work, look in Start | Administrative Tools | Services.
Please list all items there that begin with "SQL Server" - that will
let me know which services you have installed.
