    I usually open the firewall for 1433 on VMs/other machines. I do this with

    netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="SQL Server" dir=in action=allow protocol=TCP localport=1433

    Make sure that you also enable remote connections from your SQL Server. Use SQL auth.

    How do I enable remote connections to SQL Server Developer Edition on desktop PC at home? I thought it would be done using the SQL Server Configuration manager, but that failed for me. I got the following error message:
