CRM 4.0 install error

Question
-
The install fails on verification of Microsoft SQL server with the error "Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding." Everything else validates.
In the crm40svrsetuplog here is the error:
11:47:15| Info| Check SqlServerAgentValidator: Success
11:47:15| Info| Check SqlInstanceNameValidator: Success
11:47:15| Info| Check CrmSqlDomainValidator: Success

11:47:51| Error| Check ConfigDatabaseFilesValidator : Failure: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.11:48:21| Error| Check CrmDatabaseFilesValidator : Failure: Timeout expired. The timeout period elapsed prior to completion of the operation or the server is not responding.
I'm running the install with a domain admin account and used the default network service account as the security account. I also tried using the domain admin account for the security account just to see if it worked and it did not. SQL 2008 is on another server in the same domain. I created a login for the domain admin and assigned the sysadmin role. I also enabled both tcp/ip and named pipes in the sql connections.
Am I missing something? It seems like there is something else in SQL that isn't configured right, but i've been banging on this and can't seem to figure out what its hanging on.

In addition to what the others proposed, also have a look at this article that provides some detailed information about running CRM with SQL 2008. I've been able to resolve most issues by following the information.

I've ruled out the firewall by attempting the install from internal but still recieving the same error. That's also not the error that i'm experiencing.Thursday, May 13, 2010 2:08 PM

If you're installing in Wk8Server try to run the installation proccess as Administrator (right clic Runas Administrator). When your run the install process did you download the CRM Install Updates packages?
