Security question...

My application (Net Framework 2.0 C#) is connecting to a remote
server running SQLServer2005. When it does, a firewalls are activating
asking me if I really do want to allow my application to connect.
Whatever i chose (allow or not) the connection to SQL server fails
because firewalls are blocking it (Symantec and other ones too). I assume
that i must assign some rights for my application. How to do that in 2.0?
1.1 Framework has something like "Net framework Wizard" or configuration
2.0 does not. What to do? Any howto?

Hello Jacek,

I think you'll have to configure your firewall to allow outbound connection
to the sql server.
Don't think this has anything to do with the .NET framework.

Hi,

You have to configure your machine to allow your app to access the internet,
now you may have more than one firewall, the one that comes with windows &
symantec's
Is the remote server in your network?
try to do a telnet to the remote server from the prompt: telnet
remote_Server_IP 1433 and see if you can connect
