Hi, Amar

What do you mean “the status of Tcp\IP port is not getting change”? Can’t you enable TCP/IP?

Is there any error message?

Hi, ABHI
Try to test connection from client to the SQL Server by using telnet command:

telnet your-sql-server-ip 1433

If you can connect, it will show a blank screen. Otherwise, the connection may be blocked by some firewall or router.

Hi, rctaubert
Your problem is quite weird. You told that before setting the second server you can access SQL Server from the laptop. Then, why don’t you try to connect the laptop and the SQL Server directly (direct connection) to see if it is still connect-able?

Hi, Aruna
To install only client tool, run setup for SQL Server and when it is on feature select page, you choose to install only Client Components -> Management Tools.

For second question, if you want to connect the SQL Server from remote PC through the Internet, the server must have static IP. Or you can use the dynamic DNS service from http://www.no-ip.com/.
