Author  Topic  wendy Starting Member 19 Posts Posted - 2006-03-13 : 16:23:52 I installed SQL Server 2005 standard edition. When I am trying to connect (via SQL Server Management Studio)to the default local dB by using SA. I get the following error: Cannot connect to <server name in here> A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the login process (provider shared memory provider error 0 - no process is on the other end of the pipe). Microsoft SQL Server error 233. I have Shared memory enabled as well as TCP/IP. Any ideas what's wrong? Thanks Wendy
