| Good Morning All,I have been researching this for awhile now and maybe someone can point out what I am missing. First off I have created a local database with name SQL Server (SQLEXPRESS), with a couple of tables.My goal is for another computer on the network to access this database.So far I have taken the following steps.1. From the remote computer, I have mapped a drive to source of the database on my main (host) pc. Z:\MSSQL\DATA. Now, from the remote computer I can physically see the database tempDB.mdf in the folder.2. On the host computer, in configuration manager, I have enabled TCP/IP, and restarted service.3. On host computer, logged into database using sql server management studio, I have made sure the checkbox is checked for ALLOW REMOTE CONNECTIONS TO THE SERVER, and SERVER AUTHENTICATION = SQL SERVER AND WINDOWS AUTHENTICATION MODE4. On host, I went into TCP/IP settings and added TCP PORT to 1433. (dont know why,Also, just to test, from remote pc, I was successfully able to PING (IP address of host). not sure if that tells you anything but I did this because I saw it online)5. on remote I have SQL server browser RUNNING in automatic mode, log on as LOCALSYSTEMNow on remote machine I launch SQL SERVER MGTM STUDIO, and no matter what options I choose I cannot log into databaseplease help, driving me crazy Also, just to test, from remote pc, I was successfully able to PING (IP address of host). not sure if that tells you anything |

| You may already be doing this correctly, but what is the Server Name you are using from SSMS on the remote machine? It should be REMOTEHOSTNAME\SQLEXPRESS. |

| finally got it, the trick was instead of using hostname/instance, I used "IPAddress, PORT", then it connected, no clue why that did the trick, but thanks |
