Hard to tell without details of the error message or knowing your Cognos version, but before you can make a connection you must have the SQL Server Analysis Services client installed on the Cognos Server and also on the computer where Framework Manger is installed.

If you have the client installed everywhere, verify the credentials used to make the connection.
