Chapter 1 - Getting Started - Adding Connection
I am trying to follow the steps in Chapter 1 to add a connection.
When I click the "Test Connection" button an error message is returned. Message reads:
"An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connection to SQL 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.(provider: SQL network interfaces, error:26 - Error locating server/instance specified)
I reviewed the settings for Microsoft SQL Server 2005, but don't have the depth of knowledge to answer this issue myself.
I have Windows XP home Edition installed.
I am trying to due my training on my home pc. Remote connections are not something I am concerned about at this time.
I'm a newbie at this.
