connecting to server outside network

I'm trying to move some files from our in-house server to a server at our
ISP. I'm using the dts wizard. For the source, I put in the IP address of ou
r
ih-house server. When I click "refresh" to get a list of the databases I get
this error:
Error source: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server
Error Description: [DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server
does
not exist or access denied.
Context: Error during intialiaztion of the provider.
I am able to ping the in-house sever from the ISP server. I can log in to
the in-house using query analyzer and the login and password that I'm puttin
g
in the dts wizard.
Any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks,
