Sql-server – Unable to connect to SQL Server 2008 after setting up Domain Controller

domain-controllersql serverwindows-server-2008

We just installed Windows Server 2008, along with SQL Server 2008. After everything was running fine, we setup Active Directory on this server and made it a Domain Controller. Now we can't connect to SQL Server remotely. We can connect locally, just not remotely.

Any ideas? None of my "allow remote connections" settings changed. I cannot figure this out. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Check the Windows Firewall. I believe that the default Domain Controller Policy has a bunch of firewall rules set.
