NAT: Exposing SQL Server 2008 Express to the internet
- by Yves
Hi,
I have a Windows Server 2003 SP2 machine with SQL Server 2008 Express installed. I have my network configured with a NAT.
Internal clients can access the instance of SQL Server without a problem. I would like to enable SQL Server to be accessible from anywhere on the the internet.
I am not sure how to allow my NAT firewall to allow that. I tried adding the port 1443 to it but I still can't access it from a remote machine.
How can you make a given SQL Server available to the WAN?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
