And Named Pipes are also enabled in "Client Protocols"?

Maybe you can check if this guide is of any help:
Enable remote connection to SQL Server 2005 Express | Linglom.com

Hi boskwo

Not ignored at all. What can one say though if we don't have an answer?
If I were you I would try to connect to the SQL Server from the client with other software to eliminate MP configuration as a problem.

Is "sql browser" running, I think it's disabled by default.

 

[boskwo]

SQL browser is set up automatically to start...
I will make more research today and post the results...

I had the same problem after installing SQL Server 2008 on my Win 7 64 bit server and client. I followed the instructions and installed SQL Server by running the script described here:
SQL Server 2008 - MediaPortal Wiki

After many hours of frustration (client server works fine by not any stanalone clients) I found that the SQL Server Browser service needs to be changed to "Log On AS" "NT AUTHORITY\NetworkService".

This setting can be changed in the SQL Server Configuration Manager by Selecting SQL Server Services, double clicking the "SQL Browser Service" in the right hand window, and then changing the "Build in Account" to "Network Service"

Hope this helps someone, I know it will help me next time I need to do a reinstall
