How do I cross database servers?

I mean, how do I query a table that belongs to a different database in a different database server? I need to do this in a stored procedure.

I read somewhere about using spaddlinkedserver, but is there a way to do this using maybe the IP or name of the db server?

Thanks for your assistance.

You have to configre the linked server first. Then you can specify ip address/server_name in your query to fetch the data from the remote server.

I am doing a query on some tables on database A, but somewhere along the way I realize that I need the data from another system which uses database B on another server (both SQL Server). I can login to database B and see the data, but I need to do this within a stored prcoedure, and join a table in database B to my queries in database A.
