does anybody know how I would create a connection string in asp.net 2.0express to access a database in a different location from the webserver. I have a static IP address on the web server, so I've allowedaccess from the web server through the firewall. I have a user name andpassword, and I've made sure that I have the correct database. Would Iaccess the database using the network IP address and if so, where do Iput it. Thank you to anyone that can give me some insight to thisproblem, I'm very new to asp.net so, about a weeks worth of knowledge,so if you could explain as such I would appreciate it.
Seewww.connectionstrings.com. You put the IP where you normally put the Server name, all else should be the same. That said, hitting a SQL Server on the other side of a firewall may not be the best thing to do.|||thanks
"That said, hitting a SQL Server on the other side of a firewall may not be the best thing to do."
what you recommend then, like I said, I'm pretty new to this. Theproject that I'm working on requires me to create a web form, that ison an outsourced web server, and import the data into our database thatis behind a firewall. Would this be a security issue?
|||Yes, it can be. If SQL Server was perfect, it would not be a problem to leave the SQL port open. SQL Server is not perfect (recall the Slammer virus). So, in the circumstances you describe, perhaps it is your only option. However, I would make very certain that the database server is always patched up to date.sql
