Named Pipes Provider, Error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server.

In this video, we will see how to fix Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server.

There are a couple of ways to troubleshoot this problem. The one you should use depends on how your database server was configured and some other factors as well.

For example, if you configure the database engine to use dynamic port allocation, make sure that the SQL browser is running. SQL browser provides the connection information about the database engine to the client.

If the SQL browser is not running and you have restarted the SQL server and port 1433 is being used by other applications, the database engine will be allocated a different port number. Imagine that the client has been configured to use port 1433 to connect and the database engine is using a different port number. The client won't be get the connection's properties to the database engine from the SQL browser because the SQL browser is not running.

To avoid this type of problem, when the database engine has been configured to use dynamic ports, make sure that your SQL browser is always running.
