Hi all

We have a server in our DMZ which need to talk (SECURLEY) with SQL 2000 i
have done this....by configuring a really tight rule on our firewall. This
trafic only needs to be inbound to SQL.

However it would appear that though the SQL Server listenes on port the
client 1433 The clien port which is posting the info to SQL is Dynamic.
Can i specify that my Client only connect using a pre specified port which i
can then allow in my Firewall rule...

Kind Regards

Paul

Depends on the client - how the client is connecting, from
where, how many, what app, etc. You can use the client
network utility and create an alias for the server. You can
set the port in the alias you create.
Or you can specify the port in the connection string - set
the data source to the IP or server name followed by a comma
and then the port number:
Data Source=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,1433;
