Shafqat,
You need to enable TCP/IP connections at the database level. You can check out this (or several other) reference: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/823938 I believe I had to set it to port 1033 or something like that, when I did it, but it's been a while and I don't have the VM called up at the moment. Good luck!

It reaches the level where it is trying to validate the database install and then comes up with the message TCP/IP connection to the host HQE123136 using port number xxxx failed(I have tried all different port numbers) Possible causes: Database services are not available/running or network configuration is not configured for TCP/IP protocol or IP or host name/port number is incorrect. I have verified that the database is running, I can run SQL queries against the master db. What am I missing? Please help!!!! this is too much to take.
