• I would check the ports to make sure it's not blocked. If I remember correctly in the configuration manager you can set the active ports for TCP/IP to be dynamic or put in a static port number for each cluster instance. I set our clusters up with static ports that needed to be opened for traffic by our network admin. Might not apply to your setup but it was something I needed to do on ours 8 years ago.. 😛
