Also, are you connecting to a default or named instance? –StanleyJohns Jul 30 '13 at 4:41 Are you able to connect to the server from any client? Can you connect directly from the server itself? If not, is the service in fact running? –Ali Razeghi Jul 30 '13 at 4:42 @StanleyJohns .. Yes , SQL service started and is in a running state , I'm connecting to a default instance ! –zey Jul 30 '13 at 4:43 @AliRazeghi , I can't connect directly from the server itself .

This is the first time I’m using the program, so I’m having a few problems setting it up. I can't connect to a server because presumably i don't have one. I typed in my machine connect to sql name to create a default/localhost server using windows authentication but i received an error.

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) Could someone guide me on how i can setup up a local host to connect and thus be able to create my database. Also I’d like to know afterwards how i can create a server (ftp) to connect into and create my database there allowing me to view this on my laptop or a different machine. Btw i have looked on Google for this, but I’m getting a bit confused, because I’m unsure what I’m searching for. If anyone can shed some light on my problem i would be greatly appreciated.
