SQL Server 2008 Remote Access - sql-server-2008

I've studied other topics, tried various solutions, but cannot gain access to my SQL Server remotely from my PC.
I have not problems with accessing the Server its running on, I'm able to Remote Desktop fine.
Here are the steps I have taken :-
Enabled Remote access to SQL Server
Created a SQL Authentication User Account (which Ii can log in with whilst on the server).
Enabled Shared Memory & TCP/IP Protocols for the SQL Server Instance.
Created a Firewall Rule for TCP Port 1433
Created a Firewall Rule for UDP Port 1434
Created a Firewall Rule for SQLBrowwer.exe
Created a Firewall Rule for SQLservr.exe
Ensured SQL Browser & SQL Server are running processes.
SQL Management Studio cant even detect the instance of the SQL Server in listed Database Engines.
I'm at a loss as to what the problem could be?
** UPDATE **
Ive tried turning off my Firewall, the SQL Server in now found in SSMS, but i still cant connect to it?

All your steps are right, I'd do the same. I'm sure everything is fine with your SQL Server.
I guess it's firewall, try to turn it off or run this from command prompt:
netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 1433 name = SQLPort mode = ENABLE scope = SUBNET profile = CURRENT
Also, check if you have antivirus software or something similar and turn it off (on both sides).

How to connect to Azure Ubuntu VM MySQL server from local machine MySQL workbench?

I did set INBOUND PORT RULES in Azure. but still it is not working.
I want to connect this with MySQL workbench and with google VMs it works. If you can please help with this?
Some possible reasons you might consider in this case:
If you can connect to google VM with MySQL Workbench, I suppose the local firewall is open for the destination SQL server ports.
Check the NSG both VM and subnet level.
Check if the SQL server configuration is well, especially the SQL server port, options for connectivity. You can get more references about Connect to a SQL Server Virtual Machine on Azure.
Check if the port 3306 is listening on the Azure VM by using netstat -anpl | grep 3306. If not, you can check if your VM firewall blocks this access.
If the issue still exists, you can add more details about your question.
You need to create a Firewall Rule to allow inbound traffic from the Public IP address where MySQL Workbench is being launched (See Image).

Thanks for the help

There's many possible issues here, including all or one of the below
Test Open Port The network on your LAN, can you ping SQL Server remotely on the default port 1433 on the specific IP Address (you can use PuTTY or Telnet to check this)
SQL Configuration Manager Check SQL Configuration Manager and see if the Network Protocol for SQL is enabled for TCP/IP, Named Pipes or Shared Memory
Firewall and Default Port Check the Windows Firewall make sure its allowing 1433. Since you are testing, best thing to do is to disable the Firewall in Windows Services to confirm whether its a firewall issue or not.
SQL Server Browser SQL Server Instances (instances have the form SERVER\SQLEXPRESS or SERVERNAME\SQL1 for example). Check in services and makes sure the "SQL Server Browser" is running. Also, you must allow a Firewall rule for port 1434, which is the default port of the "SQL Server Browser". This is necessary because the SQL Server maps and forwards the traffic based on the Instance Name, so this is the service that resolves the instance name.
SQL Server Instance Port Varies SQL Server Instances does not necessarily run on port 1433, in this case you will have to have the SQL Browser Running which maps the name to the port and directs traffic to the correct instance. In your firewall, instead of allowing port 1433, you will have to allow sqlservr.exe Executeable Program. The port also can be determined by looking at the SQL Server log File in the MSSQL\LOG folder in Program Files. There will be an entry for "Server is listening on port ..."
My recommendation for you is to install SQL Server Express Management Studio (SSMS) which is the GUI interface to manage the SQL Server Express instance. The link is below for both SQL Express and SQL Management Studio. And see if you can connect to the servers that way first. Another suggestion is for you to install both on a Local Computer and simply familarize yourself with SQL Server first before exposing it on the Network.

Since you have both, its possible that ports are conflicting thereby the SQLEXPRESS instance for MSSQL 2005 isnt starting up. Change the port number with the following steps
In SQL Configuration Manager, in the left side window under SQL Server Network Configuration select Protocols for SQLEXPRESS.
On the right side window, Right Click on TCP/IP and select Properties. In protocol tab, change Enabled to Yes
Under IP Address tab, search among IP1, IP2, IP3 and IP4 which has Enabled as Yes(if neither is enabled, just enabled one)
Which ever has Enabled as Yes, make sure TCP Dynamic Ports is blank and change the TCP port to anything other than 1433.
Also under IPAll, make TCP Dynamic Ports blank and for TCP port enter the same value that you entered above.
Click Apply and close the TCP/IP Properties window.
Now go back to SQL Configuration Manager, under SQL Server Services, right click on SQL Server(SQLEXPRESS) and click Start.
Try the following:
Turn on the SQLEXPRESS service and try to reconnect.
If the above fails, then read this article.
In a nutshell, you will do the following:
Enable remote connections on the instance of SQL Server that you
want to connect to from a remote computer.
Turn on the SQL Server
Browser service.
Configure the firewall to allow network traffic
that is related to SQL Server and to the SQL Server Browser service.

How can I enable remote debugging in MS SQL Server 2008?

I am trying to debug a stored Procedure from Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008 which is connected to MS SQL Server 2008 Database Instance running on a different system.
System Information:
1. Remote system is running with Symantec End Point Security
I have done the following settings for running the remote debugger:
I have added the inbound Rules for TCP 139, TCP 445, UDP 137 and UDP 138 ports.
My local system's instance is running with sysadmin user role.
I have added the sqlservr.exe and svchost.exe at server windows firewall exception list.
I have added the svchost.exe and ssms.exe at client windows firewall exception list.
The SSMS and SQL server services are running in the same domain.
Following necessary services are running properly
TCP/IP NetBIOS Helper
Remote Registry
RPC Service
But after doing all these specified steps i am getting following error after clicking the debugger button in client SSMS.
Unable to start T-SQL Debugging. Could not attach to SQL Server process on 'remotesystem_name'. Click Help for more information.
If there is another alternative please let make me aware of that.
I solved this problem by creating a new login account (windows authentication account) on server for my machine.

SQL Server mirroring connection doesnt work

I have 2 servers srv-erp1 and srv-erp3. I made them mirror on each other. All setup is done by lots of tutorials and examples.
But when I call
ALTER DATABASE MIRROR_TEST SET PARTNER = 'TCP://srv-erp3:5022'
It`s response is:
The server network address "TCP://srv-erp3:5022" can not be reached or
does not exist. Check the network address name and that the ports for
the local and remote endpoints are operational.
I go to cmd on srv-erp3 and use netstat -an... this port is listening.
I go to cmd on srv-erp1 and use telnet srv-erp3 5022...and its ok to connect.
All firewalls are turned off. The only difference in config of srvrs is that srv-erp1 is on Windows Server 2003 R2 x64, and srv-erp3 is on Windows 2008 R2 x64
What can be the reason of this problem?
Regards, Dmitry.
I have such problem, the solution was using certificates. My problem appeared because my servers were not in one domain.

Cannot connect to SQL Server 2008 R2 Express Instance on the Network

I installed an instance of SQL Server 2008 R2 Express on my 32 bit Windows 7 machine. I can see it and connect to it with SQL Server Management Studio locally but not on the network.
SQL Server Configuration Manager Settings
SQL Server Browser is running (Log on As "NT AUTHORUITY\LocalService")
Named Pipes for this instance are Enabled
TCP/IP Enabled Dynamic ports are set to nothing the TCP Ports are set to 1433
In the Server Properties from SSMS
Connections --> I have the "Allow remote connections to this server" box checked
The Firewall is turned off for testing
When I try to see this instance with a command prompt (sqlcmd -L) from another computer I get a list of network servers. Sometimes it shows up and sometimes it doesn't. If it shows up I still can't seem to connect and the error message number is 26. If feels like there is some switch somewhere that needs to be turned on.
I am leaving this up there for any other users who have mental blocks occasionally... I had not turned off all the firewalls. In windows7 you have three different firewalls and you have to turn off the right one
