Have you made your server to accept remote connections?
After a standard installation it is not accepting remote connections, you can change that on the server with the “SQL Server Configuration Manager”
When you open that you will have to enable TCP/IP Client and the TCP Protocol. After that you have to restart the SQL Server service and open port 1433 in your firewall. If it is a standard installation that will do.
You also can look into the sql server properties (through SQL Server Management Server) and then on the connections tab enable remote access.
Hope it helps 🙂
