I created a SQL user with special permissions on my database and I want to be sure that this user will connect to the database only from a specific computer.
Usually, somebody knowing the SQL user and his password can query the SQL server from any pc from the network (using ODBC/Access or Enterprise Manager, Query Analyzer or isql).
I want to restrict the access and the SQL user to be able to connect to the SQL server only from one computer (specified by me).
Tks a lot...Catalina"

Hi

Well you could make sure nobody else knows your password

Or you could set up a firewall, there are a few third party ones that are reasonably easy to configure. Or, if you are feeling game, you could look into setting up packet filtering in Windows http://online.securityfocus.com/infocus/1559
