I Can't Find Client Protocols In Ms Sql Server 2005 Network Configuration. How Can I Configure Them?

Question

See more:

I have installed Microsoft SQL Server 2005 for my project but I can't connect to it while running my project because of following error

"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Serevr 2005,this failure may be caused by the fact that underthe default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.(provider: Named Pipes Provider,error: 40- Could not open a connection to SQL Server)."

I have tried following solutions to get over this but still getting the same error:
1. Installed MS SQL sever as network server.
2. Allowed remote connections in SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration.

I think that the main problem is because absence of client protocols in SQL server network configuration. I cant find them in network configuration.
Please help to solve this problem and guide me to configure these client protocols in network configuration.
Thank you..!

Hi,

you will find the activation of "named pipes" and "TCP/IP" protocol in "sql server configuration manager" console => "sql server network configuration" => "protocols for MSSSQLSERVER", enable them and restart your SQL server instance.

Check also you firewall, if the port 1433 for SQL server is enabled for sending and receiving
