Hello Guys,
i) Am having issues while connecting a remote server database from SQL Server Management Studio 2008 R2.
ii) This issue happens not on all servers which am trying to connect, it happens only on few client servers.
This is the error message, Which am getting while connecting DB.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
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.

Best to check the basics first.
1. Network Connectivity to remote server (ping x.x.x.x)
2. Firewall rules denying you access
3. DB Engine on?
