Good day to all! I have a problem with regards with accessing our external sql server 2000 here in our LAN. The Port we access the sql is 4333 and the external sql server name is sql17.innerhost.com. When we tried to connect to this server, the error "DBNETLIB: PreHandShake Error" occured. And I suspect that it has something to do with our ISA Server. We have a static IP Address on our ISA Server. And I tried to netstat through the ISA box, and it gave me the sql17.innerhost.com SYN_SENT response, what does this mean? How will I configure our ISA server to be able connect to our external sql server? any piece of advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Faith Hill - Exclusive Performances, Videos & More http://faith.yahoo.com
