Yes I have checked the port and we have business application running on that server so I would have greater problems if the server would not work.. . both method of authentication have also been tried. How do you attach a screenshot, can't find this option here

I am running in the same issue, I have two existing SQL Server (One local to where I am installing and one remote to where I am trying to setup the database). both server are up and are reachable with SQL Server Management Studio. I have tried all (SQL Server) drivers and both username/Password Widows security, instance name or none...
