SQL Server 2005 does not allow remote connection resolution

SQL Server Browser and SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS) are all connected, but always logged in, prompting you to tell me what is wrong with establishing a remote connection?

The database system that was just installed, as per the default installation, is likely to be wrong with the remote connection times, usually error: "When you connect to SQL Server 2005, SQL Server does not allow remote connections under the default settings, which can cause this failure. (provider: Named pipe provider, ERROR:40-Unable to open connection to SQL Server) "Search MSDN, there is a machine translation of the article, is difficult to understand, now summarized as follows: Understand that SQL Server is a network database can be solved, simply divided into the following concentration situation.

1. The database engine is not started.

There are two ways to start:

(1) Start-up Program->microsoft SQL Server 2005->sql Server 2005 surface Area Configuration, in the Open interface, click the connected surface Area configuration of the service, locate the database in the Open interface Engine, click on "Services", on the right side to see if it is started, if not started, click "Start" and make sure "Startup Type" is automatic, do not manually, or the next time you start the boot manually;

(2) Open: Start-up program->microsoft SQL Server 2005-> Configuration tool->sql Server config Manager, select SQL Server 2005 service in SQL Server (MSSQLSERVER), and click the "Start Service" button in the toolbar to change the service status to start;

When using either of these methods, sometimes errors may occur at startup and cannot be started, so you should see if via is enabled in SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration->mssqlserver protocol in SQL Server 2005 Configuration Manager.
