The SQL Server was not found or was not accessible

[complete]

I got this error while setting up a system that requires a remote computer to access SQL 2008 stored on another computer in the same domain:

The server was not found r was not accessible.
Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections.

When I installed SQL Server, I was sure I set up the system just so. How can I troubleshoot this?

For example:

telnet 192.168.255.255 1433

Hello,
Did you solve your problem?

Can you please check the article at kodyaz.com/content/SQLServerdoesnotallowremoteconnections.aspx"]SQL Server does not allow remote connections

By default SQL Server is closed for remote access in order to keep it in a tight security environment.
