    I can't really understand what you want to do. Could you please elaborate your question?

  • 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.
