When you set the client computer's network settings, did you put the correct
Gateway address and DNS server address?

You could always make the remote client computer connect via PPTP first,
then manage the SQL server via the PPTP. This will also improve the
security a bit.

Subject: Static IP Stress

Hi people,

I have a M1122 as part of a Jetstream package. I needed to open up port
1433 to go thru to a computer on the network, as it had a SQL server that I
needed to remote admin. The M1122 is the only firewall :) Anyway, the
telecom guys said that I needed to give the comp a static IP, to point the
NAPT thing to, which made sense. Except now, it seems the the computer
isn't recognized by the M1122 router or something. I can ping it, but it
drops all attempts at opening a port - this is from inside the internal
network.

What seems to me to be happening is that a request for 192.168.1.101 (it's
IP) is sent to the M1122 (no probs there) and it doesn't recognise
192.168.1.101, as it wasn't allocated by DHCP. The wierd thing is that ping
still works. So I guess it's just TCP [I tried telnetting, and a SYN
portscanner - is this limited to TCP, or is it all IP?], not ICMP that is
getting misrouted.

Can anyone help?

Thanks,
Sam
