  Hello,

  I was not able to see the screen shot. Even the exact error message is not given , which would have helped a lot. 

  Please check from the surface area configuration

  1. If the Browser service is running

  2. Check the Remote connections and select " Local connections" button

  3. Check the Server / Client network utility if TCP/ IP is enabled.

  4. Check the DNS setting too.

  To ensure the connectivity to the databases from the client check these :

  Enabling Protocols

  Configuring a Fixed Port

  Opening Ports in the Firewall
