The server was not found or was not accesible. verify that the instance name is correct andSQL server allow configured to allow remote connection (Provide named pipes provider, error-40 - could not open a connection to SQL server).

    Were you trying to connect to the SQL Server using its Instance Name? Sometimes the DNS caused this type of problem (as you are sure of all the other things).

    If you were using IP, probably thats because of Network blip.check your DNS as well as your network settings for any frequent blips. You would might like to a have some 2 to 4 hours (more or less depending on the frequency of error) Ping Response of the server to be monitored and then analyse the response time.
