Is SQL server agent running? It would be a service.
Yes cos the terminal is running on it and it shows as running in services
SQL Server Agent does not need to be running; it is not required.
SQL Server (<instancename>
) and SQL Server Browser needs to be running.
You need 2 ports open for SQL DB Engine: 1433 TCP, and 1434 UDP.
On the Server, have you enabled Allow Remote Connections to the DB Engine?
