  • Can you connect to the SQL Server using SSMS from your host machine? You probably haven't configured the OS or DB security settings properly in the virtual pc. – SliverNinja - MSFT Jul 11 '12 at 14:16

You will probably need to change the networking mode on the virtual machine. In VirtualBox you can configure port forwarding for this. There may be something similar in Virtual PC.
