Answer 1

In that case, check your IP address - it is probably changed from the original value.
Better not use TCP/IP if you are just working locally (that is, your database and your
development tools reside on the same machine). Use IPC instead.
If your database should be accessed remotely, change the ip-address to your computer NAME - it will (... should) be resolved to whatever IP address you have.
Both name (and domain) and IP address can be found as result of the ipconfig/all command
