In your SQL Configuration Manager, did you set your TCP/IP ports to 1433? The instance name should be what you called your SQL Server database when you installed it. When you log into the Configuration Manager (if you installed the SQL management tools) you should be able to see the Instance name.

I've run out of ideas. Plus i'm unsure what the AR System Server DB Instance Name should be, or how to find it. tcp/ip connection to the host (#) using port number 1433 failed. Possible causes: Database services are not available/running or network configuration is not configured correctly for tcp/ip protocol or ip or host name/port number is incorrect. _____ An Excellent Credit Score is 750.
