I am trying to connect to the SQL Server 2008 Express from my local machine but for some reasons I am not able to connect to the server.
sqlserver.exeis allowed in the firewall- TCP protocol is enabled
sqlexpressis running- allowing remote connections to the server
When I disabled the firewall for the public connections it is working fine
Any other suggestions please
from what I read I think the problem is the firewall
