I have sysadmin rights on the server but I am not able to connect to any server. My manager just created an account for me and I was able to login through SSMS, but now I am getting "A network related or instance specified" related error. I tried to RDP into the server but getting "Remote desktop can't connect to the remote computer" error. nsookup server name gave me time out but my manager is able to login. Can someone help since I have no idea what's going on. This is the first time I am running into situations like this.

I can't even ping those servers. I am getting request timed out error.

Firewalls maybe enabled on the server?
Can you telnet to port 80/1443?

I am not sure how to telnet to port 80/1443, but I guess this is not important now. I just got a reply from the manager saying that he is able to connect. So DB servers are up and running, its just that I can't connect.

ensure telnet client is installed on your workstation from where you are initializing the telnet command: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc771275(v=ws.10).aspx
Then
Open command prompt.
Type: "telnet servername/serverip 80"
