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 our
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 putting
in the dts wizard.
Any idea what might be wrong?
Thanks,
Dan D.
Problem solved. It was a setting in our firewall.

Connecting to Oracle database

Hi,

I want to connect to Oracle Database by creating a dsn in SQL Server 2005 Reporting Tool. I am unable to creating a new dsn with the wizard ir is providing, please help me how to create a new dsn so that my new report can get the data from Oracle database.

Thanks in Advance,

Ramesh.

You have to setup the oracle server with the ORACLE Net Provider which has to be installed first, for ORacle 8 its Oracle NET8. Then you can choose the provider in the DNS selector. Although there is a Provider within the .NET Framework I would perfer installing the Oracle provider.
