I have to connect to a SQL Server. The problem is that I only can do it from my office because the server only accepts connections from my office's IP.
The question is: how can I connect to that server from my house?
Thanks
You (or your IT department) would have to set up a VPN to your office's IP address.

I have got a remote server from client, and having sql server there connecting through local host.
Now I need to connect it through my local pc management studio.
What I need to do, Do I need any step up, or is there any place where I can find connection string to connect through remote.
Please advise.
To connect from your PC to a remote SQL instance, you will need the remote server's external IP plus the usual instance name and credentials
You will need to ensure that Firewalls etc are configured correctly on the remote server as per the link posted by scsimon
I recently set up SQL Server locally and have followed the numerous guidelines on this website and others to connect to it from a different network:
Connect to MS SQL Server 2014 from a computer on a different network
Connect to MS SQL Server 2014 from a computer on a different network
Firewall rules to allow remote connection to SQL Server in a different domain
How to use SQL server from a different network
This is what I have tried so far:
Ports 1433 and 1434 have been enabled in SQL Server Config Manager
Based on these suggestions in the links above, I have added inbound rules to my firewall to create exceptions for SQL Server and its associated ports (Ports: 1433 & 1434).
When I try using telnet to connect, I get the following:
Connection closed by remote host
When I try checking the status of my port from the following website:
http://ping.eu/port-chk/
It indicates that my port is closed (both 1433 & 1434).
When I try connecting from a different machine on the same network, I am able to do so without issue.
I do not understand what other layer of protection exists that is blocking connections to my local version of SQL Server.
Any guidance is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Throwing error when trying to connect Azure SQL Server on Cisco AnyConnect VPN, error says " 'Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)': [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver][DBNETLIB]SQL Server does not exist or access denied. "
Adding to the above answer by arun thatham, you need to provide the NAT IP of the VPN (shouldn't be configuring your private IP).
You have to configure the firewall settings in Azure SQL Server to allow client within an ip range to connect to Azure SQL Server.
When ever you get into a VPN your ip address will be in the range between the ip range of your company/organisation network. In that case you need to specify the range of your latest ip address.
Also your VPN network must allow 1433 port in the outbound configuration. Then only the network can connect to your Azure SQL Server.
So, I have two PC (PC-A and PC-B) that I've set up with Windows 7 and SQL Server 2012. I setup a port forwarding for PC-A so I can access it remotely.
I can connect to SQL Server on PC-A from PC-B (using SQL Server Management Studio) by entering the PC-A ip address, but unable to connect if I'm using the server name of SQL Server on the PC-A.
Any ideas to make it works?
Try using tcp:[Server Name],1433
1433 is the default port numberused by sql server
Found a workaround to this problem. I install hamachi on both PCs, register them to a same hamachi network. And now I can connect using the server name.
Thanks all for the suggestions.
I have two computers that share the same Internet IP address. Using one of the computers, I can remotely connect to a SQL Server database on the other. Here is my connection string:
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(#"Data Source=192.168.1.101\SQLEXPRESSNI,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=FirstDB;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=username;Password=password;");
192.168.1.101 is the server, SQLEXPRESSNI is the SQL Server instance name, and FirstDB is the name of the database.
Now, I have another computer with a different Internet IP address. I want to connect to the server above using the third computer that does not belong to my local area network. I dont have access to that third computer at the moment, so I want to use (if possible) the client computer in LAN again.
SqlConnection connection = new SqlConnection(#"Data Source=SharedInternetIP\SQLEXPRESSNI,1433;Network Library=DBMSSOCN;Initial Catalog=FirstDB;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=username;Password=password;");
Does not work
Note that I am a beginner, so I am not quite sure what I am doing even though I know what I want to do. By passing the Internet IP to the SqlConnection object rather than the local IP address, how can I successfully connect to the server computer, using the client computer in the same network? Also note that my ultimate goal is to connect to the server with an external client, but I don't have access to that computer right now. I'd appreciate any help.
