I am having problems with the backup & restore process.
I backed up the database from a production Sql 2000 Server, & restored it on my localhost Sql 2005 Express server. All was fine till now...

Next, I backed up the DNN Files, unzipped them to localhost, changed the alias in Database & modified the web.config file for connection string.
However, I get the following error, when opening DNN pages:
"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. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)"

However, I have Named Pipes enabled on my local server. Is there any way to make DNN use Shared Memory or TCP???
Please help!!!

I found out the reason why the connection using Named pipes was not successful, and thought of posting the solution so that others do not face the same problem...

Simple!!! I did not had Sql Browser running on my machine... Just run the Sql Browser service, and there should not be any problem connecting to Sql Server via Named Pipes.
