Hi everyone, At my home LAN there are 2 SQL servers between which i cant make connections. The only reason for me failing to create connection between the 2 SQL servers is supposed to be a firewall existence that blocks data transportation from one machine to the other. My questions: How do i get to know whether the router upon which my lan is based, contains firewall ? How do i know if the antivirus both machines run contain firewall ? Assuming there is firewall, how do i make it accept port 1433 data ? Hopefuly i expressed myself clear enough given that my comprehension in firewalls and ports is poor. Thanksps
