    Hi,I am running SQL Server 2005 on a Windows 2003 Server for production and on an XP box for development.  While on production sever while running 'SQL Server Management Studio' and I try to connect to my development box I receive a timeout error.  If I am on the development (XP) and try to connect to production things work great.   Why can't I connect to my development database while running 'SQL Management Studio' on the production machine?Thanks in advance for your help,Terry
  • Best guess is you do not have your development box configured to handle remote connections.

    GO into your configuration tools and check the allow remote access.

  • also check if there is a firewall

  • It was a firewall issue.  Here is the document that I referenced:

    Thanks for your replies!
