Well, it looks to me like the error pretty much tells you what's wrong. Check your connection string and make sure it's correct, and:

Is the remote machine turned on?

Is SQL Server installed on the remote machine?

Is SQL Server configured to allow remote connections?

As far as the connection string is concerned, your Server attribute could be incorrect.
