Why do I receive the error “SQL Server does not allow remote connections” when connecting to SQL Server 2005?
This kind of issue is usually caused by incorrect SQL Server instance name or SQL Server instance doesn’t enable remote connections settings. We need to: 1) Make sure the connection string is valid. Check if the SQL Server instance is running and its instance name is correct. 2) Make sure the SQL Server instance allows remote connections.
