Windows Firewall, SQL Windows Authentication, Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement.

Connection Timeout Expired. The timeout period elapsed while attempting to consume the pre-login handshake acknowledgement.

1) Use FQDN on the DB Server Instead of IP. If server is not domain based, then add a host entry in ETC\Hosts file and then use the same instead of IP

If that doesn't work, additionally try below

1) Open Windows Firewall on SQL Server and add a rule to unblock inbound port 1433
2) Enable IPV6 in NIC properties of SQL Server.
