Hi

I cannot connect to Sql server remotely from management studio , It is corrrect User name and password, but

how to enable remote connections to a sql server? what is other chances?

Cannot connect to xxxx.xxxx.xxxx.xxxx

===================================

A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. 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) (.Net SqlClient Data Provider)

thanks
