The reason for throwing this error could be Wrong Server Name , Disabled remote connections , firewall blocking , SQL Server browser services were stopped .
Work Around
1. Make sure the server on which SQL Server is running can be accessible ?
2. Make sure the server name is reachable by pinging command from command prompt .
3. Make sure SQL Server browser services are running .
4. Corresponding TCP / IP port or pipe is not specified in the connection string .
5. If firewall is enabled on the server then you need to put sqlbrowser.exe and / or UDP port 1434 into exception .
