- If you receive an error that says TCP/IP connection to server: port# has failed please check the following:

- Is the port you are trying to connect with open on your Firewall. The default database port, 1433, may need to have an inbound rule created on your server’s firewall.

- If you continue to receive this error, open up the SQL Server Configuration Manager, find your Server on the left and select it. Make sure that TCP/IP is enabled.
