Dataflow not able to access PBI Warehouse

So far tried to access Warehouse through Fabric.Warehouse, SQL Server database connectors. In dataflow v1 I have not been able to access the data in the warehouse.

 

When tried SQL Server database in Power BI desktop I can see the data. In gen2 Dataflow Im able to access the Warehouse via Fabric.Warehouse connector.

 

So far getting this errror:
Fabric.Warehouse:
Microsoft SQL: A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

SQL Server Database:
