I installed SQL Server 2008 on a PC with xxx.xxx.x.200. When I connected to the server from another machine(say xxx.xxx.x.81) using SQL Server Management Studio, I get the following error.

  TITLE: Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio
------------------------------

Failed to retrieve data for this request. (Microsoft.SqlServer.Management.Sdk.Sfc)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&LinkId=20476

------------------------------
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

An exception occurred while executing a Transact-SQL statement or batch. (Microsoft.SqlServer.ConnectionInfo)

Database 28 cannot be autostarted during server shutdown or startup. (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: 904)

For help, click: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?ProdName=Microsoft+SQL+Server&ProdVer=09.00.3042&EvtSrc=MSSQLServer&EvtID=904&LinkId=20476

To know more, I tried the same with another client machine (say xxx.xxx.x.92), it works well. WHY does it behave like this.
