No Process Is on the Other End of the Pipe

I receive this error when I try to connect to SQL Server 2005. I have enabled TCP/IP, Named Pipes, and restarted the server but that is not working.

Solution

I tried the troubleshooting steps in both microsoft tech articles, and oddly no luck.

I managed to fix the solution by changing my authentication from SQL Server Auth to Windows Auth. Though I am not sure the technical reason why this works?
