Why do I get error "Client unable to establish connection: Server not configured for TCP connection"?

The TCP/IP protocol must be enabled in the instance that you are trying to connect to.

In the SQL Server Configuration Manager, in the list of network protocols for the instance, the status for TCP/IP must be set to "Enabled".

By default, SQL Server 2005 does not allow remote connections, which means that the default setting for TCP/IP is "Disabled".
