Seems like a pretty clear error to me. If running the tools fromt he same computer the mssql server is installed on then you probably installed it as a "named instance" (which is default on 2005 express). You need to reinstall mssql as a default instance if that is the case. There is a guide in my sig.
Hm, I'm using sql2000 not 2005...also I had read some of your threads about that "named instance" and I think mine is not since it has no slash in its name the services list :huh:
try using the ip of the computer like 192.168.XX.xx not 127.0.0.1

guess I'll just uninstall it and try the 2005...:glare:
Try ticking NT Auth and using your windows user/pass. It might be that you didn't enable mixed mode auth.
Can you log in using the management studio? Do you use your windows user or "sa" to do that?
phew....it works now...with 2005...should have done it sooner... :huh::huh:
