I am using MS Server 2008 with MSSQL 2008 R2 as database server.
Each time for some work I have to login to server via Remote connection. I tried to configure the SQL Server remote connection on, followed the following steps..
Created Inbound and outbound rules for TCP port 1433.
In SQL Server configuration manager ,all is set for IP address and Pprt no properties.
Set the SQL Server instance for remote connections.
But still it's not working.
Also when I checked port 1433 for TCP on local computer it is shown closed.
or just use
netsh firewall set portopening protocol = TCP port = 1433 name = SQLPort mode = ENABLE scope = SUBNET profile = CURRENT
or just execute under Run menu
%windir%\system32\services.msc
