Answer Wiki:
Are you trying to connect via Windows authentication? If so they you either need to have all the computers on a Windows domain or the account that you are logged into your computer with needs to have an account on the SQL Server with the same username and password.

I use sql authentication
There is no domain here all systems are independent i.e workgroup The problem is users who need to query data first need to connect in run on start menu as \comp1
then give
username administrator
password-pass
in connect dialog box
to work on queries and SQL server authentication is used then too its not working unless you connect to box on which its running So people are able to access files on the system “comp1″ when they are supposed to only work with queries
I always use SQL authentication
Thanks for answering

Msg 17,level 16 State 1
Microsoft ODBc SqlServer Driver DNETLIB Sql Server does not exist or access is denied

But once you connect after giving password of computer it connects instantly
Hope there may be some way out
