title: SQL Server 2008. Allow Remote Connections?
body: <p>I have SQL Server 2000 and 2008 installed on a Windows XP Pro box. I can connect to both db instances locally.</p>
  
  <p>From another box, a Windows 7 box, I can connect to the SQL 2000 instance on the first box but I cannot connect to the 2008 instance using the same SQL Server authentication credentials that worked locally.</p>
  
  <p>Allow Remote Connections is set to TRUE for both the 2000 and 2008 database instances.</p>
  
  <p>What else can I look for to be able to connect to the remote 2008 instance from the Windows 7 box?</p>
  
  <p>I am trying to connect using Mgt Studio 2008.</p>
