Hi
I have what seems to be an unusual scenario that im struggling to remedy. My application connects remotely to our SQL server in the uk. it works absolutely fine connecting to it through the application where i am currently (in the USA) and a couple of remote test machines can also connect to it. All of these machines are outside of the Company network.
The machine that is hosting SQL server is within the company network. When the application is used inside the network, the connection fails and no data can be obtained or saved. The connection string i am using is the external IP address to the Company server and it has been configured to send any sql connections to this network machine by the IT guys.
How should i set this up in the connection string or is there a different method i should be using to allow a network machine on the same network to call SQL server though an external IP address and connect to the network machine?
Cheers
Nacho
