Hello All,
I am trying to connect to our website database which is located at our hosting company.
My PC is running Windows 7 x64.
From it I can open \Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2\SQL Server Management Studio and successfully connect to the database.

However, from my developers machine: he is running Server 2008 R2 x64 as a workstation. We cannot connect. We receive the error below.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Regards, Stephen
