Can connect to SQL Server 2012 but not 2008 r2 - sql-server

I'm not a full-stacker, so forgive me in advance.
I'm trying to connect to a SQL Server 2008 R2 database from a Linux based server (via PHP mssql_connect). I am unable to do so.
The Error we get is: Connection timed out.
We are able to successfully connect to the SQL Server 2008 r2 from a Windows based server using sqlrv.
I'm able to successfully connect to a SQL Server 2012 database (hosted on Arvixe).
We have FreeTDS installed on our server. The mssql module installed and the database credentials added to our freetds.conf -- but still unable to connect.
We've also been whitelisted to access the database.
Is there anything we are missing? Your help is greatly appreciated.

There was a missing IP address from the whitelist. The IP address of the server AND the website needed to be whitelisted.
Also, these IP addresses needed to be allowed to make a remote connection over port 1433 to the database we were attempting to connect to.

SQL Server connection from Excel

I am trying to connect to a SQL Server 2016 database from Excel (Office 365).
First of all :
I can ping the SQL Server from my PC
I can telnet SQL Server 1433
I can connect to the SQL Server with a SQL Server account
I got the credential popup when I connect from Excel (tried with domain account and SQL Server account).
There is no firewall restriction between client and server.
But finally I got this error message:
Where should I check ?
Well, i'm using IP adress instead of server name and it is working. So it should be a DNS issue.

TFS 2015 connection with SQL Server 2014

I am trying to connect my TFS-2015 residing on one machine to the SQL Server 2014 residing on another machine.
This is my SQL Server instance name:
This is the error I get on TFS:
Please guide me the fix here.
It could be a firewall setting on the sql server. Can you connect using SSMS from another machine in your network? Are you using the default port? If so is there a firewall rule allowing traffic on 1433?
If connection is not the problem then it looks like a user right issue. The account running TFS and if it is different the account installing TFS will need a proper login to SQL.

Look at your screenshot: You only gave it a SQL instance name (MSSQLSERVER). You have to provide a database server name as well. How is it going to know what server to connect to otherwise?

Why can I not connect to SQL Server using server name, but works with IP Address?

So, I have two PC (PC-A and PC-B) that I've set up with Windows 7 and SQL Server 2012. I setup a port forwarding for PC-A so I can access it remotely.
I can connect to SQL Server on PC-A from PC-B (using SQL Server Management Studio) by entering the PC-A ip address, but unable to connect if I'm using the server name of SQL Server on the PC-A.
Any ideas to make it works?
Try using tcp:[Server Name],1433
1433 is the default port numberused by sql server
Found a workaround to this problem. I install hamachi on both PCs, register them to a same hamachi network. And now I can connect using the server name.
Thanks all for the suggestions.

Can provide more information if you need. Thanks
EDIT : I deleted everything and installed SQL SERVER 2008 R2. Everything working now. Thanks all for your effort.
Ensure you have installed SQL Server as a "Default instance" in order to be able to connect with just the IP address or hostname. If it's a "Named instance" installation, you will need to specify the hostname and instance name to connect. (i.e. MY_HOST\MY_INSTANCE)
Check out the SQL Server Configuration Manager, and under SQL Server 2008 Services section, does the installation have the "Names instance" in brackets? - That's your named instance.
