when I connect to the SQL server 2008 then this message show

"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) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 2)"

In SQL server Configuration Manager I click SQL Server Services then in the middle pane it shows

"The remote procedure call failed,[0x800706be]"

.
Please help me how can I establish connecton. I am trying it about three hours.
