I have configured my system to connect to the SQL Server 2008, I am running under windows server 2008, and I made the following:-

  1. Enable TCP/IPon my SQL Server.

  2. Activate and enable the 192.168.1.20 for the SQL Server.

  3. Add two inbounds rules for the 1433 post on the firewall and the sqlserver.exe.

But when I tried to connect the database I got the following error:-

The TCP/IP connection to the host 192.168.1.20, port 1433 has failed.
Error: “connect timed out. Verify the connection properties, check
that an instance of SQL Server is running on the host and accepting
TCP/IP connections at the port, and that no firewall is blocking TCP
connections to the port.”.

When I typed the following:

telnet 192.168.1.20

it gave me 

Connecting To 192.168.1.20...Could not open connection to the host, on port 23:
Connect failed

So what might be the problem?

    the telnet command is wrong, try

    telnet 192.168.1.20 1433

    You didn’t mention about outbound rules. You need to add the inbound + outbound rules on your machine (in the firewall) and on SqlServer machine.
