I am tring to setup a program called Airwatch. I have a DMZ server that needs to connect to the SQL server on the internal network. We have a access rule to let the the 1433 port trafic though the firewall but, when tring to connect the two servers it is looking at 1434 to negotiate the sql trafic. We have about five other server setup the same way and none of them are look at 1434. I need to get this working asap. Thanks for your help.

This one may help or possibly ask them here. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms175483(v=sql.105).aspx http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sqlsecurity/threads Regards, Dave Patrick ....

Hi, Thanks for posting here. I think it explained quite clear form the TechNet article Dave referred that two ports are required to open on firewall in order to remotely connect to SQL DB by default (TCP 1433/ UDP 1434) form external. So could we first reconfigure the rules on our firewall and see how is going ? Meanwhile, which firewall device are we using now ? Thanks. Tiger LiTiger Li TechNet Community Support
