    Are you receiving a specific error message? I had this error today. The error message was along the lines "A network-related error or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible." To resolve it, I had to enable Names Piepes and TCP/IP protocols under SQL Server Network Configuration in Configuration Management. Hope that helps.

    Error:18456. login failed for user xxx.

    I don't think it's related to the protocols as they are all enabled.
