    I'm sure this is a simple problem but I haven't been able to find information anywhere. I have installed SBS 2008 standard and later installed SQL server in the same box. the DB is accesible fine from within the box but I am unable to find it outside from clients that are included in the domain.

    Please HELP!!

    What errors are you getting when trying to log on to the server?

    Have you enabled remote connections through surface area configuration?

    Does some firewall is blocking the connection/port?

    thanks for your help!

    I have created exceptions in the firewall and the surface area config is also open.

    I have not been able to telnet the ip of the clients with port 1433 either.

    the errors i get when I try to create ODBC connection on client is

    SQLState 08001

    SQL Server Error: 17

    Server doesn't exist

    Can you cross check the port on which the SQL Server is listening?

    And also try connecting the server by both IP & Name.
