I am trying to create a database connection to a SQL Server Express instance on an in network server, but I'm not having much luck. I have made sure the TCP/IP is enabled, the TCP Port is set to 1434, TCP Dynamic Port is empty (I have tried multiple options there as well). The SQL Server Browser service is running. I have restarted the SQL Server service. I am able to ping the server. Does anyone have any other suggestions to try. This is the error I receive. Thank you!

The default TCP port for SQL seems to be 1433, might that be the issue?
