I configured the SQLAzure database. I configured the firewall for my IP and when am trying to connect to that database from my local using SQL Server Management studio, getting below error
TITLE: Connect to Server Cannot connect to XXXXX.database.windows.net.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.

How to resolve this issue?
Please also check network protocol when you connect to Azure database via SSMS. It seems you are using named pipes and TCP/IP is excepted.
Hi Bravo are you able to browse the instance via Visual Studio if you have it installed?
Can you also confirm that you are not behind a corp firewall that blocks 1433 outbound?
Really minor thing but the title of the error has a trailing "." which if that is the machine name you are trying to connect to won't work - it may just be appended by the error message.
You can try a few things:
Ensure SQLAzure database name is correct (the error that you posted translates to name doesn't even exist)
Try adding port number at end of the connection
XXXXX.database.windows.net,1433
If the issue still persists, try pinging the SQLAzure from your local machine.

As the error states "network-related or instance-specific error" its related not being able to find the instance.
This maybe due wrong instance name, Check the spellings of the server that you are connecting to.
You may have installed a named instance like sqlexpress in that case the server name should be {YourServer}\Sqlexpress.
You can get your instance name by going to services, if its MSSQLSERVER you can connect with the machine name else you should provide the correct instance name.
Please refer the screenshot below.
If you are connecting to another machine check the network configuration of the instance by going to sql server configuration manager. If the status is disabled you can connect from outside.
If that also fails better check the firewall settings
I've installed tigertoolbox from Microsoft and I'm using SQL Server Performance Dashboard Report daily.
It's very useful and I suggest you to install it if you are not using it yet.
BTW, when I connect to localhost everything works smoothly but when I'm trying to connect to another SQL Server instance on the network I receive the error
An error has occurred during report processing. (rsProcessingAborted)

(provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
Access is denied
The answer is very easy: I can easily connect to localhost thanks to my credentials but I need to enter user/password for a remote SQL Server instance.
How can I ask to SSRS to prompt user and password for remote SQL Server instance?
The problem Cannot create a connection to data source ‘DataSource1’. (rsErrorOpeningConnection) is even mentioned in the comments on the official Microsoft page but it's not mentioned how to fix this issue.
Check if you are running the SSRS on the default port of Server. If not, inform the port in the connection.

That is NOT the answer.
The error tells you that your server was not found, so it cannot be authentication error, the server is not reached so it just cannot authenticate you.
You should check your connection string if it's right. if it's correct, it can be firewall or your server is not configured to accept remote connections.
So for whe first thing post here your connection string, it looks like this:
My picture is for shared DSN, if you use it embedded you can find it in your report properties
For the past month I have been using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio tool to connect to my database which created on the Azure portal. Recently I received updates from Microsoft related to Microsoft Visual Studio. After I installed these, I can't connect to my SQL database (previously it was working fine). Update History Screenshot I attached the screenshot of recent updates (which I installed) and the error message for your view.Error Message
Please help to solve this issue.
note: I am an SQL beginner, so I don't know many technical things related to tools, so please keep your answers to my level, Thanks!

This error means that you tried to create a connection to an endpoint and you were expecting a acknowledgment from sql server, however, that acknowledgement did not occur. This means that you are either blocked by your own network, a network in route, or the endpoint network (which all three could be your own if, running locally). I would start by pinging that server ip address and seeing what you come up with.
that problem solved automatically, when I tried to keep connecting. really I don't know what was the problem..thanks for ur reply guys.
I'm trying to connect to my local machine name as "Server Name", and giving windows authentication, but its throwing some error:-
"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while
establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or
was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that
SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named
Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
(.Net SqlClient Data Provider)"
Please note previously it was connecting all well some few months back, but now it throws error. I tried lot of alternatives provided around the web, but nothing worked.
Did I miss something ?
If the service is running on your local machine, try connecting with "LocalHost" as the server name.
Also, did you check that the service is running?
There are several reasons for this to happen:
Check if your SQL is up and running
Check there is no firewall messing around
Check on the configuration manager if sql services is up
Check if TCP/IP is active on the configuration manager
Sometimes, I know is weird, but his error shows up if you haven't configured your server for mixed security (both windows and SQL Server). Try connecting with a windows user with SA permissions and activate SQL authentication as well.
To do this, open SQL Server manager and connect with the SA user, right click on the server properties, check the "Security" tab for "SQL Sever and windows authentication mode"
Check this blog post that will lead you from some of the points I told you.

I just fixed my computer here and there after I was facing some BSOD's and when I now try to open up SQL Server using Windows Authentication, displays the following message and doesn't login.

I checked in the Configuration Manager, Named Pipes, Shared Memory and TCP/IP all are enabled. What went wrong now? :-|
Did you check SQL Server Configuration Manager->SQL Service(MSSQL). Is it runnig?
You also can check:
SQL Service(MSSQL)->Properties->Service->Host Name is eqals to "Service Name"
which you must enter when you start your MSSQL Manadgment Studio.
If it don`t help you can read this articlea http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sql_protocols/archive/2007/05/13/sql-network-interfaces-error-26-error-locating-server-instance-specified.aspx
Check if you are typing in the right computer name and instance name. The error basically points to that.
