SQL Experts: SQL Network Interfaces,error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -1)

I have installed SQL Server and Management Studio on new machine and facing issues while connecting to SQL Server through remote machines on my local area network. After thorough searching and experimenting I have got resolved the error. Following are the steps(not necessary all) to resolve the issue.

SQL Server should be running

Go to All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration Manager. Select node SQL Server 2005 Services, under SQL Server Configuration Manager parent node. SQL Server's state should be Running. SQL Server Browser service should also be Running(you can Start/Stop by right click on service name)

Enable TCP/IP in SQL Server Configuration

Go to All Programs > Microsoft SQL Server 2005 > Configuration Tools > SQL Server Configuration Manager. Select node Protocols for SQLServer(your server's instance name) , under SQL Server 2005 Network Configuration.
TCP/IP's state should be Enabled. (can be Enabled/Disabled by right click on Protocol Name)

App Exception for sqlbrowser.exe in Windows Firewall

In Firewall window > Exceptions tab, click on Add Program. Locate the sqlbrowser.exe by Browse button. Click OK. At my system, it is located at C:\Program Files\Microsoft SQL Server\90\Shared\sqlbrowser.exe.

Right click on SQL Server main node in Management Studio, and go to Properties. SelectConnections page from Select a Page section. Allow remote connections to this server should be checked.
