Connect with TCP

Hello,
I hope I'm posting this in the right group.
I'm trying to connect to a network server running Sql Server 2005 Express
from vb 2005. I can connect to it when I use:
DATA SOURCE=<servername>\SQLEXPRESS;INITIAL CATALOG=<cat>;Integrated
Security=SSPI;
However I need to be able to connect to it from the internet using TCP. I
have openned port 1433 on my firewall. I have set the server to allow remote
connections and it still comes back with an error when i trie to connect. I
have even tried using this on my local network. Here is my connection string
:
Data Source=192.168.0.xxx,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial
Catalog=<cat>;User ID=<user>;Password=<password>;
Any help would be appreciated.Figured it out. Might help if I use the correct IP Address!
