connection error

Hi

I am getting following error while connecting in sql server. i have already disabled firewall, enabled remote connections using pipe and tcp and made sure the sql server and sql browser services are running.

but still the problem persists...can any help me ?

Named Pipes Provider: Could not open a connection to SQL Server [2].
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establi
shing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failu
re may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not
allow remote connections..
Sqlcmd: Error: Microsoft SQL Native Client : Login timeout expired.

thanks in advance

Do you have a named instacne or a default one ? how are you connecting, you will have to provide some more information on your situation to make it easier forus to give you the right suggestions.
