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.

Extracting info regarding ETL's

Dear all,
I'm pursuing for a method/query or any kind of task being able to find all
those DTS which own Oracle connections inside. It's very hard open one and
one (500)!!
Does anyone ever experienced or face up such requirement?
Thanks for your time and any input will be welcomed,
EnricI don't think it's possible to display dependencies of a DTS Package as it's
application code rather than SQL objects.
You may be able to save the DTS Packages as a Visual Basic file and then
search within the file. I have never tried this though.

Well, in a fact it's possible instancing dtspkg.dll with VB
and navigate through a specific DTS and obtaining the value for the global
variables and so on... I am trying to avoid this way, it's useless.
Thanks anyway,
