I have sql server express 2012 installed on windows 2008, locally everything works just fine i can connect via tcpip and named pipes. Remotely i can connect with ssms only using named pipes.

I have tried disabling the firewall on both sides to eliminate blocking traffic. i have toggled the tcpip setting on and off (i read somewhere that they got it working just but flipping them off and back on). I have double/triple checked all the settings that i'm aware of and everything seems to be correct.

  • Tcp is enabled
  • Tcp port is set to 1433, udp port is set to 1434
  • Server has static ip
  • Start up log says: Server is listening on [ 'any' 1433].
  • Firewall rules are in place

Any suggestions on things that i can look into? i have really just run out of ideas.
