Is it possible?For e.g., connect to database on company A from company B,both in different locations, have their own firewalls.Thanks in advance.RK." |

| If the firewall is blocking the ports the SQL Servers use (normally 1433), you will need to use another port that is not blocked, or have the firewall open the ports. |

| You might want to check into creating a Tunnel between the two firewalls. That way the information is still encrypted between the firewalls and the servers should be able to communicate over port TCP/IP port 1433. If that isn't possbile then the only other possibility would be what was suggested in the previous post. |
