I have agonized over this problem for a while. I'm running MS SQL Server 2000 SP 4 on Windows 2003 server SP1. On My windows firewall I have approved SQL server to connect to the Internet and also opened port 1433. My server is not behind any other firewall. I cannot remotely connect to this sql server. Whenever i try I get a 'SQL server does not exist or access denied' error message. I know my login credentials are correct. SQL server log shows server is listening on port 1433. I cannot telnet thru port 1433(nmapping this port shows it as closed although I opened it on firewall)

Both incoming and outgoing traffic?
N 56°04'39.16"
E 12°55'05.25"

Thanks 4 the reply. I finally figured what my problem was. The remote client I was connecting from is behind a corporate firewall that doesn't allow outbound traffic on port 1433.
