title: unable to access sql server remotely (error says :the remote system refused the network connection)
body: <p>I tried using windows authentication but the server I'm using is also an active directory server so I'm using sql authentication instead.</p>
  
  <pre><code>public const string con = "Data source=192.168.56.101,1433" + ";" +"Database=" +
      database + ";" + "User ID=" + user + ";" + "password=" + password;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>this is the connection string</p>
  
  <p>Also I carefully configured and reconfigured Sqlserver to allow remote connections and completely turned the firewall off</p>
