Hi,firewall is completely off on both machines, where am able to connect in one way (i.e from A to B) and not in other way (i.e from B to A). please help.
Have you verified that the SQL Server is set to allow remote connections?
You need to Enable a network protocol to allow connectiosn to the SQL Server. Here's an article on how to do it, http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms191294.aspx.
When you say you can connect from A to B not B to A do you mean you have SQL Server installed on both machines or you can ping or RDP from B to A?
