    SQL Server on Remote PC

    What should I check to be able to connect to SQL server instance on a remote box. I've checked to see that it's running and that port 1433 is enabled.

    How would I check that there isn't a firewall rule blocking my connection and if the sql is configured to allow remote connections.

    Sorry for the low level of tech ability here in advance!!
    Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

    I preferred version 1!

    This Microsoft support article should help you to determine if your SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections: How to configure SQL Server 2005 to allow remote connections. It also covers the Windows Firewall.
