Hi, I am having a problem connecting to remote SQL server via TCP/IP in my .net application on my work machine.
My connection string is somethign like
SERVER=60.187.145.183,2000;UID=sa;PWD=dsdsd

When I run the app and it tries to open sql connection I recieve an error that remote server refused the connection.

I tried the same on my home machine and it failed as well. Then I turned off firewall on my home machine and it worked. When I turned off firewall on my work machine it did not work. What could be causing this?

The remote server is configured to allow remote connections on TCP/IP

thanks!!
