External Access

Hello,

I want to access my database server from the internet. I've created a rule
on my router to redirect port 1433 to the desired machine, but still get a
Server does not exist, or access denied message. When I change the
(external) ip to the local IP address, connection succeeds. Is there
anything i need to change within SQL Server to allow external (internet)
access?http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;287932
