Hi

You have a connection issue, please check,

In SQL server configuration manager->  Is TCP/IP enabled?
Next, does the firewall have an exception for port 1433 to allow inbound connections
Last, On the server, right click server in SQL (properties) and check if there is a checkbox at 'allow remote connections'

Have check the above
TCP/IP is enabled
have installed portn 1433 in to the firewall
and have checked that allow remote conections is ticked
Patrick Bogers

Next to TCP/IP is NamedPipes enabled and running?

What happens on the client if you run:      telnet serverip 1433

Running the above telnet serverip 1433 failed to connect

Then i assume you have some firewall or port issue somewhere.
I tested it against a running DB server and the screen went black (as expected)

Try to disable the firewall as a whole (and other firewalling software like Symantec Endpoint or MalwareButes)
If this doesnt resolve the issue i begin to think your SQL server is no longer listening to port 1433.

has the Firewall is controlled by the domain this may take a little time but we can try this
if you run connection tests on the SQL server to the SQL datadabe they do work fine which suggest that the SQL  is working
Patrick Bogers

Yes, and not being able to telnet tells you port 1433 is not available or prohibited.
