Copy Database Wizard Error

I am trying to

copy a database from our company's external SQL

Server(production) to our local SQL

Server(development). The Copy Database wizard fails on the step

"Execute SQL Server Agent Job".
Following is the error in the log file.. Please advise

InnerException-->An

error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When

connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact

that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote

connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not

open a connection to SQL Server)

Have you verified that both servers have the remote connections allowed. Have a look at this KB Article. Remember that Remote connections is turned off by default on new installes of sql server 2005.

|||Do you know how I can set SQL Server2005 to allow remote connections on a cluster?
