I am trying to connect to the SQL Server 2008 Express from my local machine but for some reasons I am not able to connect to the server.

  • sqlserver.exe is allowed in the firewall
  • TCP protocol is enabled
  • sqlexpress is running
  • allowing remote connections to the server

When I disabled the firewall for the public connections it is working fine

Any other suggestions please
