The first place I would look would would be My Computer > Manage and then click on Services. Scroll down to SQL Server, and verify that the service is started (I noticed on my development environments that occasionally my service will not start event though it is set to automatically start. Also, are you running a default or named instance of SQL Server? If your service is started, and you think your connection string is correct, could you include your connection string (obviously omit any username/password credentials) so that I can see what that looks like?
