I want to connect with my application to remotely located MS SQL server 2005. Is that possible?

Currently I have to login via Remote Desktop and run my application on the server which is no good for me.

Pls advise.

Yes that is possible to connect remotely. We never, ever run applications on the database server, so all of our applications are remote. What error are you getting when you attempt to connect remotely?

I should have clarified -- SQL server and client machine are not on the same network. They are miles away from each other.

If I follow the Microsoft write up on enabling remote connection, what TCP port(s) do I need to open on the router?

thank you
