Hi Ignacio A. Salom Rangel,

what i'm wanting to do is to have a remote pc connecting to my database on another pc via the internet.

i believe i need to setup this using sql server configuration manager, but i'm not sure what i need to do on each pc to make it work

best regards

peter

You are going to need to ensure that you know what ports SQL is listening on and ensure that the firewalls of your end pc, DSL/cable router and any ISPs involved are not blocking those ports. You will also need to know the IP address your DSL/Cable modem is pulling, as that is the IP you will have to specify from your management pc. In your DSL/Cable router you will need to ensure that port forwarding is setup so that any traffic for the SQL ports is forwarded to the pc hosting SQL.
