name as well
as the server name when MS refer to &amp;quot;Server
Name&amp;quot; they really mean &amp;quot;Server Instance Name&amp;quot;) eg if your server was
named &amp;#39;bigturnip&amp;#39; then&amp;nbsp;you need to specify &amp;#39;bigturnip\sqlexpress&amp;#39;
(where sqlexpress is the instance name - this one just happens to be
the default used by SQL Server 2005 SQLExpress). By default the server
name was entered as merely &amp;quot;bigturnip&amp;quot; but after i added &amp;quot;\sqlexpress&amp;quot;,
then everything worked. If anyone else is having this remote connection
problem and when they did select remote connection and still does not
work this is the way to solve the problem.....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/BLOCKQUOTE&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This helped me greatly, Thanks! &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description></item><item><title>Re: Set up Database using SQL Server 2005</title><link>http://forums.asp.net/thread/2514157.aspx</link><pubDate>Fri, 25 Jul 2008 10:13:39 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">4c671506-2930-414c-a40b-8bf57ded5924:2514157</guid><dc:creator>danasegarane</dc:creator><slash:comments>0</slash:comments><comments>http://forums.asp.net/thread/2514157.aspx</comments><wfw:commentRss>http://forums.asp.net/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=1003&amp;PostID=2514157</wfw:commentRss><description>&lt;p&gt;Try this one&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I think I read in one of the previous posts, which says that you can't
have both Server 2000 and Server 2005 together. There can only be one
installed. &lt;br /&gt;
hope that helps!&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
I was following the steps for setting up SQL server 2005 for PWSK. When I came to this step:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;1.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Double
click &lt;b&gt;aspnet_regsql.exe &lt;/b&gt;in&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;E:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727&lt;/i&gt;
&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;2.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;The
asp.net sql server wizard will start &lt;b&gt;click next&lt;/b&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;3.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Choose&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;
configure SQL Server&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;and &lt;b&gt;click next&lt;/b&gt; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;4.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span&gt;Select&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span&gt;
Server and database; &lt;b&gt;Give database a name&lt;/b&gt;, default name is aspnetdb.mdf
and &lt;b&gt;choose&lt;/b&gt; type of authentication &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;span&gt;&lt;span&gt;5.&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span&gt;Confirm
setting and&lt;b&gt; click next&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/b&gt;The database pull down box said: &amp;lt;default&amp;gt; when i click on the downward arrow i get the following error message:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Failed to query a list of database names from the SQL server.&lt;br /&gt;
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server.&lt;br /&gt;
When connecting to SQL server 2005, this failure may be caused by the&lt;br /&gt;
fact that under the default settings SQL server does not allow remote&lt;br /&gt;
connections. [provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not&lt;br /&gt;
open a connection to SQL Server]&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
So I followed the following steps to change the setting from local connection to local and remote connection: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;table class="list ol"&gt;
&lt;span align="left" id="dnn_ctr398_ContentPane"&gt;&lt;span class="Forum_Normal" id="spBody"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td class="number"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;1.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="text"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Click &lt;strong class="uiterm"&gt;Start&lt;/strong&gt;, point to &lt;strong class="uiterm"&gt;Programs&lt;/strong&gt;, point to &lt;strong class="uiterm"&gt;Microsoft SQL Server 2005&lt;/strong&gt;, point to &lt;strong class="uiterm"&gt;Configuration Tools&lt;/strong&gt;, and then click &lt;strong class="uiterm"&gt;SQL Server Surface Area Configuration&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;tr&gt;
&lt;td class="number"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;2.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;
&lt;td class="text"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;On the &lt;strong class="uiterm"&gt;SQL Server 2005 Surface Area Configuration&lt;/strong&gt; page, click &lt;strong class="uiterm"&gt;Surface Area Configuration for Services and Connections&lt;/strong&gt;.&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
