Please help -- So stuck now -- Cant connect to sql from external source

Hi all,

I am having real problems allowing a client to connect to sql 2000
through enterprise manager.. I have tried all sorts but to no avail:

From our local network all works fine.. Using the adsl line.. Even if
i try and connect to the external IP and use login details..(As
opposed to connecting local and using windows accounts) I can ping and
telnet the server and port.

The server is behind a firewall so i opened up port 1433 and port
1434(? is it needed).. To replicate the client i took the same laptop
home that i use to connect in the office.. However using the exact
same config on my dial up at home i can ping the server but cannot
telnet onto port 1433.. I think that this is the vital missing step
but do not know hpw to resolve it..

Any ideas anyone

Cheers
