The network is not present or is not started

If this happens to one of your XP clients (may also work on 2k and Vista)

1) Browse to your adapater

2) Uninstall File and Print sharing for Microsoft Networks

3) Click OK etc...

4) Browse to the adapter again, install File and Print Sharing

Everything should now be working again! Obviously if this happens a lot, then there is a bit of an issue here, however corrupt file and print sharing does seem to occur every once in a while.

The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing.

In Reporting Services 2005 for some reason, you sometimes get this error:

The report server cannot open a connection to the report server database. A connection to the database is required for all requests and processing. (rsReportServerDatabaseUnavailable) Get Online HelpSQL Server does not exist or access denied.

Along with a reference to not having named pipes installed.

To fix it, just run the following command:

rsconfig -c -sMyServerName -dReportServer -awindows -uDomain\Account -pMyPassword
