SQL Server 2008: How to resolve SQLSTATE = 08S02, SMUX Provider: Physical connect is not usable

Hello,

I am getting this when I try to connect to a SQL Server 2008 R2 database.

Database connection server: -1

SQLSTATE = 08S02, SMUX Provider:  Physical connect is not usable

On the SQL Server itself, I find the service for the SQL Server instance in stopping status.  I need to restart the server to get the service restart properly, but then it goes back into the stopping state and clients start seeing the SQLSTATE = 08S02, Phyiscal connection is unsable.

Any ideas on what could be causing the problem?  Where can I troubleshoot more to find out?  The event logs do not show any errors. 


Paul
