Hi every one, i have connected 2 computer via lan (using sql server)
But i want I Can access to other PC through Internet using sql server, Namely i want to access database sql on that PC. I REAd Some document about that but i am wonder , and i dont see very clearly. Can i use VPN to connect via internet or other tool ???
:sick:
If you use a VPN then you're on the same network, so it's as though they were both connected to the same router. If you actually want to connect over the internet then that's a configuration option in SQL Server. Connecting from VB is exactly the same as any connection; you just edit the connection string. The alternative would be a web service on the same network as the SQL Server and your app invokes that to get and save data.
Have you got any example about that. ex : How can you access to database on my machine if i allow. Guid me please. I NEED it very much.
As I said, connecting to a database is ALWAYS the same in VB. You simply change the connection string. If you don't know the appropriate connection string then you should visit www.connectionstrings.com. How to configure a SQL Server to allow connections from the internet is not a VB.NET issue so, if you want further help on that, you should post in the Database Development forum.
Also if you are behind a router or firewall, you will need to forward a port (usually 1433) to the SQL Server machine:
