Disregard the last message. The msg server is now connected. Let me try directly connecting to the computers ip address.
Connected to the ip address still says the same thing but Iām sure the server is up and running on the main pc. Anything I should check and give you info on?
I followed this
Iām sure the db is correctly configured on host system but I get the same error when trying to connect on system 2. Iāve even turned the firewall off and tried a direct connect to the computers ip. Iām assuming thereās still a simple configuration or setting Iām missing either in samba sql or firewall.
From the screenshot you posted, you have the server name POLOS1/SAMBA with a / (forward slash). Network names use \ (back slash). It should be POLOS1\SAMBA.

Iāve tried it both ways still nothing even tried using two \'s
Can you connect to your database using Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio? If so show us a screenshot once connected.
Itās connected. Ill attach some pictures I took last night before I went home. Hopefully they will suffice and maybe give you an idea on why I canāt connect from the client to the main pc.
If I wasnāt connected I wouldnāt be able to get into management studio. It says itās connected.
Yes but I just wanted to see the screen after login not all the setup stuff. Btw just hit PRint Screen button on your keyboard then paste it in here with control+ v.
We do not use this computer for the internet so thatās what Iām having to take pictures with my phone. These are the only pictures I have and it will be Wednesday before I go back to the restaurant I was hoping to have a solution between now and then. Sorry I canāt provide anything else at the moment but when I start the management studio it connects when I hit connect and it says connected so Iām just not understanding why pc wonāt connect to the host db.
Take a picture of your login screen in MSSMS before you login so I can see the instance.
Actually instance name is showing in the title bar of those screenshots. It looks correct.
