I had installed SQL Server 2008 Enterprise Edition Eval on my machine which has Windows XP with SP2.

I am able to connect to database server locally from my machine, using SSMS. But When I try to connect from a different machine, I get the below Error.

"A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections."

All the SQL related services like SQL Server, SQL Browser, SQL Agent, etc. are running.

I Did enable TCP/IP Protocol through Configuration Manager.

Also, In the Connection properites of Server "Allow Remote connections" check box is enabled.


Can you please kindly help me out. Thanks in advance.
