Author  Topic  altjx Starting Member 1 Post Posted - 2011-04-30 : 03:24:03 On my remote server, if I disable the firewall, I can connect just fine to the SQL Database from my laptop. However, the minute I enable the firewall, it doesn't work at all. I've went to the SQL Server Configuration Manager > Protocol for <Instance Name> > Right click TCP/IP > IP Addresses tab... At the very bottom under IPALL, I have a TCP Port set... I've configured that port exception in the firewall and it's still not working. I'm totally lost as of what to do next.
