When doing a two machine install (one sql server, one sharepoint everything) and the following names are chosen:
sql: sp2013sql
sharepoint: sp2013
The DB alias is not created correctly. In the above scenario, the protocol "sm" is used instead of "tcp/ip".

The reason for this is your naming convention. One server name is a sub-string of the other. Try giving your servers names such as SP2013-SQL and SP2013-SP01.
