-----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of José Olavo Cerávolo Sent: 16 February 2012 16:49 To: [email protected] Subject: RE: SQL Server 2008 connectivity problem Ok, All basic configurations were taken care of. Allow remote connections, protocols, firewall. I spent a lot of time on this. I searched the internet. Tried everything I found. Now I installed Management Studio R2 and I still can't connect. When I browse on the SSMS, it finds the server, but it gives the same error. I disabled the firewall and still it does not work. I am sure it's a M$ thing.
