    It can be a lot of things. Is that server name ok? Is it running? is it configured for remote connections? – Szymon Nov 22 '13 at 19:32
  • Please just quote the error message, rather than posting a gigantic screenshot of it. It's more searchable, and much easier to read. – Josh Darnell Nov 22 '13 at 20:36
  • A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing 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 – Zidane Nov 22 '13 at 21:39
  • I have configured to allow remote connections – Zidane Nov 22 '13 at 21:40
