Re: Connect to SQL Server over the internet

If you have removed the firewall (must be removed from both machines), then
you shouldn't have any problem connecting to the SQL-Server using the
connection dialog window that you will find on the main menu: File ->
Connection.

Select the server from the drop down list or other its name or its TCP/IP
number and give the proper login and password.

Of course, instead of removing the firewalls, you can also open them for the
port 1433; which is the port used by SQL-Server in its basic configuration.

I don't have this problem because I'm testing with my computers (computer A
& B). I can remove the firewall.
I'm working with SQL Server 2000 and MS Access 2003.
So, how can I do?
Thanks.

You shouldn't have any problem if there are no blocking firewall.
However, many hosting services will protect their SQL-Server behind a
firewall (in this case, there are no solution), so I suspect that this
might be your problem.
