Hi, I'm trying to get two sql servers talking to each other.
Scenario: MS SQL 2000 servers on both servers running on Windows 2003 Server with the built in firewall, one in the UK, one in the USA. I've opened up ports 1433/tcp and 1434/udp between the two ip addresses. I'm able to register the USA server from the UK server, but not the other way around. I can ping the servers both ways, so the dns is resolving ok. I can't telnet onto 1433 on the UK server from the USA server which I think could be the problem, but I can't see how the port is blocked. My aim is to set up replication to backup the USA server onto the UK server. Any ideas please? Thanks, Jenny ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:231395 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
