Failed to connect to database server

hi
I am trying to do create two SQLExpress connections (via sqlexpress instances) in two different machines through (ArcCatalog) a GIS software.
I am able to connect to Server B(per say) from Server A but I am not able to connect to Server A from B. A and B are in differnet machines.
Are there any setting in A which i am missing to enable so that A doesnt allow any connections to it. I checked the Protocols for SQLExpress and TCP/IP is enabled.
any help is appreciated!!

What is the connection string? and error message when you connect A from B?

Most common issue is firewall. i.e. the TCP port is firewalled on A.
