I'm not sure about this, but have you tried starting SQL Browser Service? – OzrenTkalcecKrznaric Nov 02 '13 at 20:05

If the database is on your local machine, you can just enter a dot for the server name.

And what if it's SQL Express? It's usually under a named instance. – OzrenTkalcecKrznaric Nov 02 '13 at 20:05
