Unable to gain remote access over network
I'm trying to allow my business partner to access my SQLServer on Vista, but he has windows 7. I've added him as a user and set up an account in SQL. He is picking up the wireless network but is unable to gain access to me machine. What
am I doing wrong?

Hi
I assume that other users that run other OS' (not Win 7) can connect remotely via Wireless to your SQL Server.
In such case, check the Win 7 configuration and make sure that it is configured to be on Work Network.

Make sure that the Win 7 Wireless is configured correctly, and can access your computer in general (like seeing the public folders).
