hi everybody
I've been working in the database field for 9 months
I started from very simple tables, to some sql stuff
And then I started studying SQL Server 2005 extensively until I took MCTS SQL Server 2005
During that time, I was building a database for a new company from scratch, and while I build it for them I keep on reading books and learning, and using this knowledge to upgrade the database
Recently, I could successfully migrate the back-end to SQL Server 2005, and after days of struggling I could connect the front end to it via ODBC in a LAN
My next step is connecting the database through the internet, so I just changed the server name in the DSN file to the address of the server, and opened the ports, but it didn't work....
Can you tell me what's the problem?
Is there a book that can help me do this thing?
I can buy any book and I have the will to learn, provided that I'll apply for MCITP Database Developer next months

Thank you..

The sql server is installed on windows xp, and the front-end is installed in a vmware image on the same machine
I could successfully connect the access front-end to the server using computername\servername combination, i could ping the public address of the server, i checked that port 1433 is open, and i have a dynamic ip
Still, i can't connect to my server through the public ip...

What do you mean dynamic ip? Got ip address via dhcp? Is the ip address a valid internet address?

Is it your company's internal ip address? Will not work if so.

the problem is not with the port or the ip
i already checked that the port is open, and that the dynamic dns is working, and i'm sure about it

Nothing to do with your dns, have to register your server in internet domain's dns.

Every machine on network has ip address, don't know what you mean 'have a dynamic dns account with no-ip'.

You said you can connect from lan but not via internet in first post, then you said ping from internet works above. Now you have another store, looks like you need find some local help.

i can connect through the lan
i can connect through the internet using a computer that has a different public ip
i can't connect through the internet using a computer that has the same public ip
so if i want to test the connectivity, then i need to connect from a computer outside the lan
