Error while connecting to SQL Server from Visual Studio 2008

This error occurs when I was trying to connect to SQL Server 2005 which is there with VS 2008.
AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED WHILE ESTABLISHING CONNECTION TO THE SQL SERVER
2005. THIS FAILURE MAY BE CAUSED BY THE FACT THAT UNDER THE DEFAULT SETTINGS SQL SERVER DOES NOT ALLOW REMOTE CONNECTIONS.(PROVIDER:SQL
NETWORK INTERFACE, ERROR:26. ERROR LOCATING SERVER/INSTANCE
SPECIFIED.)
I am doing everything on local machine still it shows error for network. I tried to enable SQL Server browser but its not starting anyway.
How can this be solved?
You have to check for the rights of the folder in which your .net and inbuilt sql server is reside.
You have to full rights of that folder.

Could not open new database 'DB Name'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted (SQL Server, Error: 948)

*Hi,
The Case:
I am trying to move a database from one server to another, source server has SQL Server 2008 R2, destination server has SQL Server 2008.
I copied the .mdf file only I tried to use query sp_attach_db and wizard attach but the was an error, as follows:
Attach database failed for Server
'SERVER_NAME'.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.Smo)
----------------------- ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
An exception occurred while executing
a Transact-SQL statement or batch.
(Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)
The database 'DB_Name' cannot be
opened because it is version 661. This
server supports version 655 and
earlier. A downgrade path is not
supported. Could not open new database
'DB_Name'. CREATE DATABASE is aborted.
(Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 948)
I dont think its possible to attach a database from a higher version of SQL server to a lower version.
Eg 2008 to 2003 is not ok,
going from 2003 to 2008 is ok.
You could try doing an import export data but I have not worked out how to attach it so far.
