Thank you for the reply. I mistakenly attached the wrong image. I actually have SQL server confirmation for the first step. I tried to connect using the IP address of my PC where my local database resides and I believe my DNS is configured properly as I have successfully done setting for email which would not work if I have a wrong setting for DNS. I disabled the firewall on the PC too. I am still not connected to the database. Maybe I am using wrong information in database name section.
