No Process is on the Other End of the Pipe

错误提示：

Named Pipes Provider: No process is on the other end of the pipe.
Microsoft SQL Native Client : Communication link failure.

Microsoft SQL Native Client : An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections.

典型原因和解决方法：

Cause	Resolution
The client is attempting to connect using named pipes, and the server is not configured to allow remote connections using named pipes.	Connect using TCP/IP, or use the Surface Area Configuration tool to enable remote connections using named pipes.
The client protocol order is attempting to connect with the named pipes protocol before trying the TCP protocol, and named pipes are not enabled on the server.	Using SQL Server Configuration Manager on the client computer, move TCP before named pipes in the protocol order list.
