SQL Server blocked from network users

EBS was installed a year ago and is running well. Installed SQL last week on a member server that has been a part of the domain from the beginning. Everything works fine from the SQL Server box but I cannot connect to it from any other system, server or workstation, on the same domain and network.

Please make suggestions as I need to solve this in a few hours or call Microsoft

The member server is Server 2008 x64 and SQL is 2008 x64 as well

are network protocols enabled?
go to sql server configuration manager, select network configuration, protocols for <your instance name>, make sure at least named pipes and tcp/ip are enabled.
what about windows firewall?
remember to open ports and/or allow sql server and sql browser processes to receive incoming connections.
If I do a netstat -a -n on the local box, should I see the tcp/1433 port or no? This is puzzling...



netstat -a -n

I just modified the Domain, Private & Public profile in the firewall to ALLOW Incoming connections, thus disabling the firewall completely and I still get the error:

[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.
Problem solved...
The SQL Installer does not set the default port and relies on Dynamic port communications. I set the port on the IP All option and all is good. You live and you learn.

Thanks,

Take a look at the error log for the new SQL Server Instance and verify the port number used - 1433 may not be the correct port.  If no Listening Ports are shown check Configuration Manager to ensure TCP/IP is enabled for the instance.
you'd better enable sql server browser service rather than manually setting port 1433.
accepted solution will work until you install another instance of SQL server, then you'll have to manually choose another port and specify it in connection string.
I prefer to let sql server browser choose ports dynamically. this way connection strings are independent from server configuration.
