connecting to sql server express remotely -
i have beginners question, , apologize if stupid.
i beginner @ sql server. can sql pretty well, dont know connecting.
i have:
microsoft sql server management studio , sql express
what process of allowing remote connections it?
i leave laptop online @ home management studio running , access home sql server through remote connection.
i know
- how allow 1 of databases accept remote connections?
- what connection string be? laptop's ip address or what?
- is dangerous accept remote connections?
i have done following btw:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlexpress/archive/2005/05/05/415084.aspx
and when works:
sqlcmd -e -s localhost\sqlexpress,2301
however when try not work
sqlcmd -e -s my.ip.add.ress\sqlexpress,2301
anyway, after work how connect specific db??
by default, sql server express 2005 , 2008 not allow connections anywhere local computer... not difficult change it.
in short, want run sql server surface area configuration program , enable appropriate remote connection options need.
you need enable sql browser service, , don't forget poke appropriate holes in windows firewall if have enabled (which hope do). 3 of these steps described here. luck!
