The error is accurate. How are you trying to connect? Through code? Through Sql Management Studio?

As the error states, your application cannot communicate with the server. Since you have used a direct IP address I would check the following things:
- is the port 1234 correct? It's not the default port (1433) so it's verified?
- is there a firewall in between? Especially since non-standard port is used, it needs to be opened in the firewall (if present)
- SQL Server service up and running properly?
- correct IP address? (what happens if you try ping

Add/Check Firewall policy is open for port 1433(Default) or specific port according to your sql server listner port..
