Resolved: Failed to connect to database server or the database name does not exist
In the SharePoint configuration wizard, we were receiving the error: Failed to connect to database server or the database name does not exist. This seems to indicate that the database server name is wrong, or DNS is messed up or something. It probably means that.
We also found it means the user account running the installation does not have correct permissions. The account must have SQL log in rights, db creator, and security admin rights.

In our case it turned out to be Windows Firewall was blocking access between the SharePoint FE server and the database server.
