I am installing SharpForge on my computer.
I am getting error when i went through the intallation wizard.

Error exception details System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

Anybody have any idea why I am getting this error?
