| hello,I have install SQL Express 2008 Express on a VDS and i have a problem connecting to it remotly. I can connect to the instance when on the VDS with no problem.When i try to connect to it remotly using the ip <ipaddress>\sqlexpress i cant. Interestingly i cannot connect to it using the ip when i am on the server it self. So localhost\sqlexpress works but <ip address>\sqlexpress doesnt work.I am sure that the IP address i use is correct. Can you please advice.thanks |

| If you haven't already tried this, go to the SQL Server configuration manager and enable TCP/IP connections... not sure if this is the problem though. |
