    This is a LOCAL SQL Server instance? if so, Remote Connection should not be an issue

    You enabled the TCP/IP in Config Manager for SQL Server Service (not Clients)?

    It could be that SQL is running on a different port as well?

    You could try enable SQL Server Browser, and re-connect again

    what did you type in the Connection Window?

    LOCAL\InstanceName?
