Connection error

Hi All
when i try to register an instance of SQL server sometimes it's registered
successfully and sometimes not, giving me the error SQL server Error:17 SQL
server does not exist or access denied.
I installed service pack 3 and i still get error.
Also when i try to add a Data source, i can do it successfully using named
pipes as the network protocol but it fails with TCP/IP.

Thanks for your hel|||You must have appropriate information to connect to the server, (name or IP,
and port number)...
The server must be listening on the same network protocol that the client is
trying to connect with ( server network utility, and client network
utility).
Lastly you must register the server with a login that is a valid SQL server
login for the server.
