Name of my sql server instance from outside the network
- by Michel
Hi,
normally i connect to my sql server instance from my local computer, and then the server name to connect to is the name of my laptop.
So i can connect to server instance 'MichelLaptop'
But now i'm trying to connect to my server from outside my network, and the first thing i wonder is: what is the name of the instance?
i've made a redirect to my local machine in the DNS of my domain, so i said (this is not the real data)
testsql.mydomain.com
goes to
190.191.192.193
and when i ping testsql.mydomain.com, i get a response from 190.191.192.193
But what then is the server name?
