  2. Go to SQL Server Network Configuration > Protocols for SQLEXPRESS.
  3. Ensure that TCP/IP is enabled.
  4. Right-click on TCP/IP and select Properties.
  5. Verify that under IP2, the IP Address is set to the computer's IP address on the local subnet.
  6. Scroll down to IPAll. Ensure that TCP Dynamic Ports is blank.
