I already asked this question at the MSDN forums, but I'm asking it here because I got conflicting answers.

I want to configure my server to allow remote connections. For some unknown reason, I'm unable to do this with the Surface Configuration Tool. My understanding is that I can accomplish this using the sp_configure stored procedure. Is this correct? If so, can someone please give me an example of the correct syntax? BTW, I'm running SQL Server 2005 on winxp pro sp2.

Thanks in advance.

there is a remote access entry that should do the same as the surface area config
sp_configure 'remote access', 1

There may be other things stopping remote connections though.

Cursors are useful if you don't know sql.
DTS can be used in a similar way.
