    The problem is most likely the fact that most SQL servers only let you connect to them from the same machine they are running on unless you manually create a user account that you specify can connect from elsewhere. I dont know about SQL Server, but this is the case in both Oracle and MySQL so this is most likely your problem here.

    For example in MySQL, when creating a user account you specify a username, password and host - which either leave (to mean localhost), specify an IP to connect from or specify "%" to mean any IP.
