Following steps describe you the step by step details of adding a network library configuration:

1. Click Start, go to Programs, then go to Microsoft SQL Server, and click Client Network Utility.

2.Click Alias tab.

3. Now, click Add button, and enter the name for Server alias, and select any of the given Network libraries, i.e. Named Pipes, and click OK. 

4. Click Apply, click OK.
