SQL Connect outside network

  • I have SQL running on a server with a satic IP outside of my firewall. I can tunnel into that server remotely, and now I want to add this SQL server to my Management Console (MMC) so I can transfer tables to it on my local machine with a dynamic IP (inside firewall)

    I have not figured out how to connect. I have tried registering that server, but I am unable to register successfully.

    When I try, I am using the following input of that server: IP\SQLInstance or another ex: 123.123.123.123\SQLINSTANCE.

    Am I putting the right parameters in? Can someone please offer some assistance?

    Thanks!

  • can you try to connect to the server using query analyzer ?

    Also, can you try to create a client alias and try registering/connect to query analyzer ?

     

  • Thanks for getting back to me so quickly. Unfortunately, I cannot connect to the QA.

    Anything else I can try?

  • did you try the alias ? I think you might have tried this but can you try to telnet and see if you can open the port on which it is listening ? are you using sql authentication ?

  • How do we "alias" the SQL Server.  Can you please let us now, this is something  have never heard of.
