To check if SQL Server is configured to accept remote connections, open SQL Server Management Studio (SSMS), connect to your SQL Server instance, right-click on the server name in Object Explorer, select 'Properties', and navigate to the 'Connections' page. Ensure that the 'Allow remote connections to this server' option is checked.
