    i am giving ipadress\instance in username

    Do you mean ipaddress\instance in the server name? Are you sure you have the correct IP Address and and instance?

    Are you sure the user you are connecting with has been created on the SQL Server?

    What is the exact error message?

  • ok my problem has resolved i have set port number = 1433 in tcp/ip of configuration manager and it resolved my problem....

  • I have had similar connectivity issues.

    Can connect locally on the box but not by IP.

    Remote connections enabled but still no luck.

    In Sql Server Configuration Manager, SQL Server Network Configuration, Protocols fo MSSQL Server,

    you must enable the network protocol. i.e. TCP/IP.

    Hope this helps someone out.
