I am running MS SQL Server Express 2008 in a Parallels VM. Installation was uneventful. When I start the program, a box opens, asking for the server name. There are no choices. I can browse, and only one name is offered on the Network tab. When I try to
Connect to that server, I get the following error:
TITLE: Connect to Server
------------------------------
Cannot connect to ERICKARDON2E26.
------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
