    Are you connecting locally while logged into the server or from a remote workstation in the same network segment as the developers?

    1. Make sure the SQL Browser service is started.

    2. Make sure UDP port 1434 (port used by Native Client to reach SQL Browser service) is open between the developer workstations and the server.
