Hi Karthik12 ,
You can try the following operation:
Check Network Connectivity: Ensure that you can ping the SQL Server machine from your computer. Open Command Prompt and type ping <SQL_Server_IP_Address> (replace <SQL_Server_IP_Address> with the actual IP address of the SQL Server machine). This will verify that there is network connectivity between your computer and the SQL Server.
Check Service port if connected ping Ip port.
