| The default port of sql server is 1433 and this is the one you need to open up in your firewalls and as far as I know there is no difference in the procedures for a physical server than for a virtual server. However, when you're exposing the server to the internet you should really know what you're doing and make sure that the server and the methods of connecting to it are sufficiently hardened. Exposing a database to the internet isn't exactly recommended...- LumbagoIf the facts don't fit the theory, change the facts. Albert Einstein |
