If your Web server is outside you firewall (in a DMZ) and your database server is behind the firewall (Intranet) you may have to open a port in your firewall to allow your Web server to talk to your database server.

I have 2 boxes. One is a Win 2k web server and the other is a Win 2k SQL server. I need to get the web server talking to the SQL server so I can get CFServer 5 hooked up. Can some one give me a quick "how to" or send me a link to some place that can help? I have 3 different books been all over the knowledge base and crawled iisfaq.com but cant find anything to do this. Then again it was late and I could have looked right over it.
