Most firms do not experience this issue due to the Windows firewall being shut off. Sometimes Microsoft Windows Firewall does not allow SQL Management Studio to communicate with workstations even with the proper exclusions. Turning Microsoft Windows Firewall off does not mean you cannot incorporate a third party firewall. Many third party antivirus and firewall programs besides Microsoft's firewall have been fully functional with our program. If Microsoft Windows Firewall is enabled it can cause connection errors such as "Connection Failed" or "SQL server does not seem to exist or is not responding." If you are unaware of Microsoft Windows Firewall status you can check or edit it by clicking Start > Control Panel > Windows Firewall.
