Connecting to a MSDE server in Internet

Hi !!
I would like to connect to a SQL Server (MSDE edition) that's in Internet,
using Enterprise Manager either Query Analizer. For these I've configured
the client tool as:
Server Alias: INET_SERVER
Net: TCP/IP
Connection parameters:
Server name: [DNS_NAME]\[REMOTE_SERVER_NAME]\[INSTANCE_NAME]
Port number: 1433
Althought I've tried to configure the server name in different ways, I
haven't found the successful way to do it.
I don't think it's a firewall problem. In theory I've successfull disabled.
Thanks !!
Josep.
You can check to see if it's a firewall or port blocking issue or not by
using TELNET and seeing if it can connect. Type this from a command
prompt (replace INET_SERVER with your server name).
telnet INET_SERVER 1433
If the telnet session fails to connect, you have a firewall issue or are
not using the correct port or host name - when I try to connect to
something that is blocked by a firewall, the error reported for me was
"could not open connection to the host on port xxxx: Connect failed".
If you get a screen that appears to be the start of the connected
session, you can be sure you have actually opened a port to another
machine. You won't be able to do anything meaningful from this telnet
session, but it rules out firewall, port, or hostname issues. Close it
and use the same settings to connect with Query Analyzer or Enterprise
Manager.
Good luck,
Tony Sebion

|||Well, it seems I didn't unblock the port successfully. So, my work is to
find how this router works... where else I've to configure the ports... but
I like to know that's not an SQL Server problem :-)
Thank you Tony for explaining me this very fast way, and easy, to know if a
port is blocked or not :D

|||Josep,
did you can do it? I have the same problem here. I think is not due to
firewall, all those ports are opened. (1433TCP; 1434UDP!)
Thank you,
Leo-
