What you need to do is go to SQL Server Configuration Manager where SQL Server is installed.
From the Start menu in the Microsoft SQL Server folder, open the Configuration Tools folder and select SQL Server Configuration Manager.
In Configuration Manager, click the arrow next to SQL Server Network Configuration, then click "Protocols for {Instance}". {Instance} will be your installation, if this is the default instance, it will be MSSQLSERVER.
On the right, make sure TCP / IP is "enabled". Double-click TCP / IP, in the window that opens, change the drop-down list to "Yes."
