Connection on a ERP Sylob

Hi Mlck ,

This error usually means that the client can't find the SQL Server instance. This normally happens when at least one of the following problems exist:

• The name of the computer hosting the SQL Server
• Instance does not resolve the the correct IP
• The TCP port number is not specified correctly

Checklist:

1. SQL Server are up are runing
2. check the correct instance name
3. add in exception in firewall
4. check if anti virus is using it
5. check the sql browser services
