Anu writes "Are there any issues regarding creating link servers over the firwall.

We have a SQL Server and want to establish link server from this server to SQL Server outside firewall. Both servers are running with SQL 7.0 with inside server SP 1 on Windows NT 4.0 and outside server SQL 7.0 SP 2 on Windows NT 4.0.

This is required to have data transfer, update and inserts to be done on both the servers. Is this the best way, i.e creating link or any other alternative will work too.

Checked BOL on creating link servers but no articles available for any firewall issues regarding link server.

Thank you !"
