I'm running SQL Server 2008 Express on a windows 2012... or at least I'm trying to :)

My problem is that I have opened the ports I thought I needed but still I cant manage to connect to the database from Visual Studio. As proof I have a screenshot of my firewall settings:

enter image description here

Everything works fine if I turn the firewall off, but who wants that while connected to the internet?

So I wonder what the heck is wrong? Is that some arbitrary ports that gets blocked? Is that a feature on the server (maybe its the same for 2008?)
