been trying to configure an ADO.NET connection for my Visual Studio application but I am running into issues and having no luck at all troubleshooting them. The major error that I run into is:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL server. The server was not found or not accessible. Verify the instance name is correct and that SQL server is configured to allow remote connections (Error 40: Could not open connection to the SQL server)
The steps I undertook to troubleshoot this are:
1. Open up Sql server configuration manager and under the SQL Server Network Configuration, Protocols for MSSQLSERVER,SQLExpress, SQL server 2008 connection string data source I enable each of the protocol names (Shared memory, Named pipes,TCP/IP,VIA)
As instructed I stop the SQL server services first under the SQL server services nodes.
Now I click start, MSSQL server service starts but both SQL Server 2008 and SQLEXPRESS agents do not. Stating the following:
The request failed or the service did not respond in a timely fashion. Consult the event log or other applicable error logs for details
This might just be the problem as when I attempt to create the connection string , the server name specified is MYWORLD/SQL SERVER 2008. Since the SQL server 2008 agent service refuses to start, the connection fails, leading to the first error message.
Does anybody have any leads on this and can let me know the necessary steps to mitigate this.
The SQL Browser service must be running to connect to a named instance.
Use SQL Servr Configuration Manager under Configuration Tools under Microsot SQL Server 2008 to assign the logon accounts for each service you want to run. Do NOT use any other method to assign user accounts because the correct rights will not be enabled.

I'm trying to use POCO to connect to my database.
Whenever I try to connect, I get this error:
Failed to load provider "System.Data.SqlClient".
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)
NOTE: it's a local database, and remote access is enabled, TCP/IP is enabled, and the SQL Server service is running.
I'm using .NET Core 7
Can anyone tell me how to solve this?
Thank you all
I'm trying to connect to an SQL database hosted on Azure from a function app I'm building in Visual Studio but I'm getting the following error:
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: TCP
Provider, error: 0 - An attempt was made to access a socket in a way
forbidden by its access permissions.)
I can connect from the same PC using SSMS without a problem. I've tried connecting to the database using data connections in server explorer in VS but I'm getting the same error. If I connect to Azure with my account in server explorer it shows me a selection of services including SQL databases but there are none listed underneath although my account does have access to the database.
Are there any hidden gotchas I'm missing or settings within VS? I've also tried adding my client IP in the firewall settings but that didn't make a difference either.
After doing some more testing it turned out to be the client firewall that was blocking VS and VS Code from connecting to Azure SQL. It seems there was already an exception for SSMS.
The error message states "Verify that the instance name is correct"
It could be that the SSMS is automatically creating a fully qualified name once you say that it is an azure database.
If you use the short name from Visual Studio, then you cannot connect to the SQL server.
For example "myserver.database.windows.net" versus "myserver".
I am attempting to configure the workflow manager. I have a SQL DB and SP server. In WF Manager Configuration Wizard, when I enter the name of my SQL DB into the SQL server instance field and test the connection, I receive a check mark. However, if I check the "Enable SSL connection with SQL Server instance", and test the connection message, I receive an error message "Failure in connecting to SQL Server".
What could cause the test connection to fail when I enable SSL connection? As long as I do not enable SSL, the test connection pass.
I have a very simple environment. Nothing complex. 1 - SQL Server and 1 SP server with SP Standard 2013 installed.
Please help.
Make sure that your SQL Server has the login for the account under which you are running Workflow Manager Configuration Wizard.
Step 1
Go into SQL Management Studio and add a new login for the account running Workflow Manager Configuration.
Step 2
Enter your connection string in the Workflow Manager Configuration and test it to see if it works.
This might look simple in retrospective, but took me a day to figure out. I wish the error message was more elaborate than a useless "Failure in connecting to SQL Server".
I got the same issue and it works when I put the full name of the SQL
I'm trying to setup reporting in TFS 2010.
I can't connect to the Analysis Services database and I also can't rebuild the Analysis services database.
I've tried to connect via TFS Admin console and SSMS and I'm getting this error in SSMS

I used the following article to identify the correct port for SSAS service and I still cannot connect.

Any ideas would be appreciated.
It was the port number.
I fixed it by using the above link to identify the port number then connecting using TFS Admin tool.
I have a web-application which is reciving the following while trying to connect to a database hosted on another server.
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)
Now, there problem here is that the connection strings, and the server paths area all perfect.
The site run correctly when run via cassini, on my local machine. (Connections strings are correct.)
Other sites hosted on the same server are able to access the databse. (Server paths ara all active.)
While the error says it's been unable to connect, Activity Monitor is aware of the query, and the Server Logs show no error. (Just odd.)
Google & Bing have massively failed with this, so I guess it's time to hit the Stack!
Open the Sql Server Conifguration Manager, expand Sql Server 2005 Network Configuration, click Protocols for <Yourserverinstance>, then check TCP/IP is enabled.
