This is working fine for me:
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("integrated security=sspi;initial
catalog=pubs;data source=SKYROCKET\\NetSDK;");
conn.Open();
MessageBox.Show(conn.ServerVersion);
So, perhsps the errors are actually correct in your case? Is the server
started? Can yo connect to it with other tools? Does that user have
permissions to access that database?

Has anyone successfully connected to a named database instance with
SQLConnection?
I assumed something like this would work but all I get is server not
found or refused connection errors:
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection("user
id=jedi;password=yoda;initial catalog=pubs; data
source=hoth\\projectx;"); conn.Open();
