You can test network connectivity from the SSMS client to the SQL Server using tools like `ping` (to check basic reachability) and `telnet` (to check if the SQL Server port is open and listening). For example, `telnet your_server_name_or_ip 1433` will attempt to connect to the default SQL Server port.
